She was laid away last Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, and ere the mass of beau tiful flowers upon her mound are withered, another death in the family occurs, and the sorrowing hnsband is a second time bereft. At Lebanon. Saturday, Verl Ve- neta. the infant daughter, aged sev en months, died of consumption of the brain. The little one was born at the family home near Buena Vista, Dec. 1st, 1902, and was a bright, winsome child. The funeral occurred at the Evangelical church in Buena, at 11 o'clock, Sunday forenoon, and the little casket was placed beside that of the mother, in the local cemetery. It is seldom that a family is so bereaved .by double deaths, and the sympathy of the entire com munity is extended to the relatives in this ?orrowful hour.
