Dora daughter of Mr. Mrs. John Collins, at six p.m. on Saturday, April 4th, aged nine years; also Francis Collins aged four years and ten months, died on Sunday morning at four o'clock. The funeral of both children took place at 3 p.m. yesterday.
Frankie was a bright, sweet little child; one that quickly won its way into the hearts of strangers, by its gentleness and tender way. It was the youngest, the pet of the family, but now the bright spirit, that so lately illuminated the household, is in heaven, and its purity and goodness untarnished by the things of this world.
Dora was an apt scholar, taking great interest in learning and a favorite with her teachers. She passed away, a victim to the Scarlet Fever, before her father could reach his home from Colorado.
This double bereavement is a severe blow upon the parents, and they have the heartfelt sympathies of their many friends in this community.
