Little Gladys Evelyn, the ten-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Thomas, died at 5:30 Sunday evening of scarlet fever and was laid to rest at midnight the same evening in Fairview cemetery. The home had been quarantined for some little time past, and no one was permitted to extend a helping hand or to participate in the last sad rite due to all that remained of the little child. It was indeed doubly sorrowful, and in the bereavement the public will unite in extending heart-felt sympathy.

Gladys Evylin[sic] Thomas, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Thomas, aged ten years, died from scarlet fever on Sunday evening after a very brief illness. The body was interred as quickly as possible and every possible precaution taken to avoid danger of contagion. The other children of the family were sent to the home of F. D. Granger as soon as it was known that the older daughter had been exposed and before the disease had time to develop. They are still there and all are perfectly well, so that there is no farther danger from the case.
