She died of Influenza

YOUNG VENICE GIRL DIES SUDDENLY TUESDAY

Irma Cowley, 14 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Cowley of Venice, died Tuesday after an illness lasting about six weeks. She had been attending high school here but was taken ill with some affliction of the heart, but was seemingly on the road to health a week ago. She was taken suddenly ill the early part of the week and died Tuesday. It is now thought that "flu" was the contributing cause of her death, and that in her weakened condition from the former illness she could not survive the ravages of the disease.

Funeral services were held at the home in Venice, under the direction of Bishop Cowley on Thursday. The speakers were C.O. Jackson, A.W. Buchanan and A.J. Ashman. All three told of the virtues and beautiful character of the decedent, and spoke consolingly to the bereaved parents, brothers and sisters.

The music was furnished by singers from Richfield Third Ward, as the choir members of Venice are all afflicted with flu. Interment was in the Glenwood cemetery.
