Obituary of Leona Public and her brother John Public:
A Very Sad Affair
The Death of John Public, Jr., and His Little Sister, Leona
John Public, Jr., son of the late John Public, died Sunday afternoon, after a two week's illness with typhoid fever, and to make it doubly sad for the poor mother, her little thirteen-year old daughter, Leona, was taken by the Grim Reaper's hand on Monday. It is hard to weigh such a sorrow as this. Mrs. Public loses her oldest son and only daughter not married, and with her other two boys seriously ill with typhoid fever at the Hogue hospital. The cause of Leona's death was due to paralysis. She had been staying at the home of her sister, Mrs. Alva Burge. Her death comes as a dark shadow to her many little friends and to her relatives who loved her so dearly - death is indeed a hard master.
If John Public had lived until January he would have reached the age of twenty-four. He was an honest, upright, hard-working young man and his friends and friendships were sacred to him. All the care that the physician and nurses could devise were brought into, but the fist of him who rules our incomings and outgoings had been issued and he was taken to the Great Beyond.
The bodies were taken to Hazelton Wednesday morning in the Smith & Irvine hearse, where the funeral services will be held at the Catholic church of that place, and the remains laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
The bereaved ones have the sincerest sympathies of the entire community their sad bereavement.
