"Loss of Darling Child Desolates Bastedo Home.
The whole community was shocked and grieved to hear of the sudden death of baby Marjorie May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bastedo [Joseph Hankinson Bastedo]. The little one was ill only Saturday and Sunday, and despite the best medical attention of three doctors and a trained nurse, she died Monday morning [February 24]. It was believed Sunday night that she would recover; hence the greater shock when death came.
Marjorie May was an unusual little girl of nearly three years of age. From babyhood her happy disposition and ever-ready smile won her as friends both the old and young of the town. Added to that was a doll-like face and a very bright mind, making her a baby who attracted everyone's attention. Her happy voice and many delightful mannerisms will be missed by all, while the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bastedo is desolated.
The funeral services were held from the Bastedo home and interment made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery [aka King City Cemetery] last Tuesday afternoon [February 25]. Many floral pieces of beautiful design were sent as a last token of love from her friends to little Marjorie May." END
