The Hand of Death.
Death has again invaded the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Shook, this time claiming their lovely little daughter Jauneta, age 14 months and 16 days. The little one was taken sick last Monday week with summer complaint and this terminated in congestion of the stomach, causing death on Friday night at 10 o'clock. The remains were buried Saturday afternoon, Dr. McClintock conducting the ceremonies.
The other daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shook died in a similar manner in the fall of 1899, her death being on the day she was 15 months old.
The death of a sweet little babe, the only daughter and pride of the household causes a sorrow that only the One Above can comfort, and we point them to Him for consolation.
________
We wish to thank the many friends who were so kind to us in the sad hours of affliction of our dear little daughter Jauneta. You shall ever be praised in our sad home for the kind deeds shown us.
Geo. And Mattie Shook.
