LOWELL HIGHSMITH
Lowell Fay Highsmith was born September 22, 1900, died December 15, 1912, age twelve years, two months and 23 days. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Highsmith living southeast of Seneca. The family of whom she was the only child, has lived in this vicinity since the birth of the deceased. For the last two years she has been suffering from diabetes, and not much hope was entertained for her recovery during the last few months. However, the week preceding her death she was feeling so much better that she thought she would be able to attend school at a nearby school house and came to town Friday for her books. On Saturday she was better in the morning and surprised her parents by going to the kitchen and preparing breakfast for them. In the afternoon she became worse and with surprising rapidity went down until on Sunday morning at twn o'clock she passed away. She was a member of the Methodist church and Sunday school, she having been one of twenty-four recently graduated from the primary room into the main room of the school. The pallbearers were six of her girl classmates. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the church conducted by Rev. L. R. South. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of a host of friends with whom The Tribune joins.
