Great Falls Daily Tribune (MT), 10 Aug 1919
Goes to Angels as Doll Waits.
"There, now you go to sleep and don't move until I come back," Birdy
Albright whispered in the ear of her doll as she kissed her wax baby goodbye
out at the Albright ranch, three miles west of Great Falls last Tuesday.
Then the little mother hurried to her parents to complain of pain in her
head. While climbing a ladder in the barn on the ranch, Birdy, age 8,
missed her footing and fell. She picked herself up apparently uninjured and
carried her doll to the nursery. Now the doll waits in vain for the return
of the little mother. For Birdy has joined the angels.
A few hours after the child was taken to the Columbus hospital she died
shortly after midnight Wednesday morning. Birdy was the daughter of Frank
Albright and during the past school year she attended the Emerson school.
Funeral services were from the O'Connor undertaking parlors Saturday,
followed by a high mass at St. Ann's cathedral.
