PEANUT PROVED FATAL

Little Vinet Nicholas, the eight months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Nicholas, passed away early Saturday morning, at the Rochester hospital where she had been operated upon the previous day in an effort to remove a peanut from her lung, as noted in last issue. The nut was successfully removed and for a time it was thot (sic) recovery was certain. There was however a large amount of secretions to raise from the inflamed member and the little one's vitality was too weakened to accomplish this. That night it became necessary to have an operation on the throat, to insert a silver tube. She had now become so weakened from coughing and the two operations that the last little spark of life vanished within a few hours.
Little hopes had been offered by the attending local physician, Dr. Trimbo, and the hospital physicians at Park Rapids, but it was thot possible the world's greatest throat specialist to whom they went, might save the baby's life.
The grief stricken parents returned home with the remains Sunday forenoon, being met at Wadena with autos.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the home of the little one's grandmother, Mrs. A. E. Nicholas, and enterment took place at the local cemetery. Rev. Hulme, an intimate friend of the family, came down from Cass Lake to officiate at the services. There was a very large attendance and many brot (sic) flowers in honor of the little one who had been so cruely taken from this life.

She is buried near her paternal grandparents, Alfred & Eleonora (Smith) Nicholas.
