Death descended suddenly on the
Otis Nichols family Tuesday, tak­
ing away little Minnie Arratle Nich­
ols, aged 9 years, 11 months and a
day. Minnie was visiting at the
home of her sister Mrs. Kenneth
Green at the Sleep orchard north
of Nyssa. About four o ’clock Tuesday
afternoon she fell a short distance
out of a tree while playing with
some companions, breaking her arm
quite badly. She was taken to On­
tario to have the arm set and died
. while under the anesthetic.
The sudden death was a distinct
shock to the famly, who live in
Rockville, and to the friends of the
family. Minnie had only been visit­
ing with her sister since school was
out last Friday and had Just passed
the fifth grade.
She was born at Harrison, Arkan­
sas and passed away at Ontario on
Tuesday, May 19th. She leaves her
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Otis Nichols of Rockville and three
sisters, Mrs. Verla Green, Irene and
Lucille; and five brothers, Olen,
Norman, Floyd, J. R. and Clyde.
Funeral services were held from
the Community church Thursday
with the Rev. Floyd White in charge
of the services. The Eagles assisted
in making arrangements for the
funeral. Music was furished by Mrs.
J. W. Poage and Mrs. A1 Thompson,
accompanied by Mrs. Floyd White
at the piano. Interment was in the
local cemetery.
