Thelma, the little 16 months old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Berry, died
Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock of pneumonia and membranous croup, and was
buried the following day in Arlington cemetery. It is nothing new for little
children to die, in all ages and at all times they have died, and yet the
sorrow that comes with such a death today is just as bitter at it was in
the beginning. Little Thelma was a lovely child and up to a few weeks ago
remarkably healthy, and many a heart besides the young parents and immediate
family will be saddened by her death. She was the first and only child of
Mr. and Mrs. Berry and was almost idolized by them and her death is hard
to bear indeed. The Journal joins their many friends in offering sympathy
to the bereaved parents.

every attention that skill and loving care could give. Little Mable was the
baby and the pet of the whole family, as well as a favorite with all who
knew her. The parents, brothers and sisters have much sympathy in this dark
and trying hour.
