A Sudden Death
This community was greatly shocked and pained yesterday morning upon receiving the sad information that Earl, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Brassfield had died at 1 o'clock in the morning after an illness of only a few hours duration, brought on by scarlet fever. Saturday afternoon the lad was out in the yard at play little knowing or thinking that in a few short hours he would be cold in death. This dreaded disease made its invasion into the Brassfield household only a few days ago when another of the children was taken down sick. Earl was a bright, good little lad, and his sudden departure from this life was a terrible blow indeed to the heartbroken parents. They have the deepest sympathy of all in their dark hours of affliction. The funeral service which was impossible to be made a public one, was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the interment being made in the Elmwood cemetery.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our kind neighbors and friends who did so much for us in word and deed, during the sickness and death of our little son.
