27 April 1878
Davis - In this village on Thurs. Morning, April 25th, 1878, immediately of congestion of the lungs, Louise Davis; aged 13 years. Funeral at 10 o'clock today. "Lulu", as she was familiarly called, was at school up to Friday last, and very few of our people knew of her illness; and the report of her death on Thurs. found them unprepared for the sad intelligence. And sad it was indeed, for among all her acquaintances, she was known and loved as a gentle, intelligent and noble-hearted child. To the mother and surviving brothers and sisters, the affliction is almost beyond endurance, although for more than a year past they have been aware that she had not long to remain with them. Their sad bereavement has enlisted the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community, which, we are glad to record, is being manifested in a manner that carries with it full conviction of its sincerity.
On Lulu's death certificate it gives Alma as her mother but she was not. It may have been the only mother she knew but Ronella was her mother. Alma was the one who gave the information.
