Miss Viola Barron has been very sick for a week. She was taken to Kansas City Tuesday night, and Wednesday an operation was performed for appendicitis. She stood it well, but early Friday morning a telegram came saying she was sinking rapidly. At 3 p.m. no other word has been received. We all hope and pray she may take a turn for the better and fully recover.

Miss Viola Barron has been very sick the past week with symptoms of appendicitis. Tuesday evening she left for Kansas City, accompanied by her sister, Mabel, and Dr. Ensign, to secure treatment. The operation to relieve Miss Viola of appendicitis was performed yesterday morning, and it left her in a critical condition. Her brother, Will, took last evening's passenger train to be with her. We hope Miss Viola will fully recover.
Death of Miss Viola Barron
It is with the saddest regret we announce to death of Miss Viola May Barron, who passed away at Kansas City, Missouri, Friday, May 17. The cause of her death was appendicitis which an operation failed to relieve, inflammation having set in.
Miss Barron was born in Cedarville, Kansas, May 23, 1878, and had she lived until today would have been 23 years old. The remains arrived on the Sunday morning's express, accompanied by Will and Mabel, the brother and sister of the deceased, and Dr. Ensign. The funeral was held at the residence Monday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Snyder, and the processing following the remains to the Kirwin cemetery (where interment was made) was one of the largest in the history of Kirwin, many friends coming from neighboring towns.
Miss Barron united with the M.E. Church eight years ago, since which time she has been an active and most valuable member. She was president of th Epworth League at the time of her death and also teacher of a class in the Sunday School, the members of which stood by the open grave and each deposited a bouquet of flowers therein as a last token of love and respect. The business houses of Kirwin were closed from 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a sadness pervaded every household.
The deceased was widely known, being assistant in the Kirwin post office, and all admired her for the sterling qualities that are the characteristics of the best women of the land, and the people all mourn with the father, mother, sisters and brothers over the great loss.

Viola May Barron was born at Cedarville, Kansas, May 23, 1878, died May 17, 1901.
It is indeed with sorrow and regret it becomes the duty of the GLOBE to chronicle the death of this beloved young lady. It must indeed have been a shock to her father, mother, sisters, and brothers, as also to relatives and acquaintances, but we "know not when the angel of death will come", and well that it is so.
On two previous occasions she had attacks of appendicitis, but it was thought the disease had been cured, or about so. She had been able to assist her father (he was postmaster) in the post office daily for the past year and always seemed cheerful and had a smile and pleasant word for patrons of the office, but another will now respond to the question, "Is there any mail?" On Friday night, May 10, she was taken severely worse, and on Tuesday morning following it was decided to take her to Kansas City for treatment and that evening, accompanied by her sister, Miss Mabel, and Dr. Ensign, took a sleeping car and arrived there the next morning and was taken to Bethany Hospital where an operation was performed in the forenoon, developing complications that were not before known. Mr. Barron received a telegram stating the operation had been performed and the patient stood it well, but gave little hopes of her recovery. Mr. Barron at once telephoned his son, Will, at Phillipsburg the facts, and he came to Kirwin where he took the train that evening for Kansas City, and on arriving there found his sister gradually failing. She survived until about 9:20 Friday night.
The remains, accompanied by W. A. Barron, Miss Mabel Barron, and Dr. Ensign, arrived at Kirwin Sunday morning and were taken to the Barron home.
Funeral services were held Monday at 11 a.m. at the residence by request of deceased, presumably for the reason that she knew her mother's health was much impaired and would not be able to go to the church.
Rev. C. M. Snyder conducted the services and delivered a short address which was comforting to the bereaved ones and appreciated by the vast audience. He spoke mainly of her excellent virtues, sweet disposition, and model life.
She united with the M. E. Church about eight years ago and was a consistent Christian and a valuable member. She was president of the Epworth League and teacher in the Sabbath school, her class taking a prominent part in the burial exercises.
A very large procession followed the remains to the Kirwin cemetery where they were tenderly laid to rest.
She now sleeps beneath a bed of roses that bespeak the love of friends louder than words. If the flowers could but tell of the place she occupied in the hearts of those whose hands plucked and deposited them upon the coffin as the last token of their love for the dear one, would indeed disclose many an aching heart.
