Death has crossed the threshold of another home in Lakeview and selected as its
victim the pet of the household and favorite among the people. The axiom that
"Death loves a shining mark" is fully demonstrated in the taking away, never to
return, of the young life of little Eva Leona Lewis, beloved child of Mr. and
Mrs. E. V. Lewis of Lakeview. The child had been ill but a brief time with
typhoid fever, which was followed by another disease that baffled the attending
physician. Slowly the little one grew worse until Sunday morning, Oct. 21st,
when death relieved her from all suffering.
Little Eva was born in Lakeview Aug. 21, 1893, ad was just seven years and two
months old on the day of her death. She was a particularly bright child and bid
fair to lead a useful life has she lived to reach the estate of womanhood. She
was a general favorite and will be missed by friends and school companions, and
there will be sad mourning over that vacant chair at home for long, long years
to come.
The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was
attended by a large number of the friends of the family, and the remains were
followed to the last resting place by a goodly number of people.
Rev. Richard Fysh officiated. Four little girls, schoolmates of the deceased
child, Essie Cobb, Ottie Field, Gussie Snelling and Ella Jones were pallbearers.
Beautiful flowers covered the grave.
