MARGARET TURNEY DIED THURSDAY

One of the saddest deaths which has occured (sic) in Fairfield for some time was that of Margaret Turney the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dillon Turney yesterday afternoon. Although Margaret was known to be seriously ill relatives and friends were not prepared for the visit of the death angel which entered the home at 4:45 o'clock.

Margaret was the younger daughter of the household and had been frail all of her life. Several years ago she was attacked by a form of heart trouble which finally caused her death. She was the idol and joy of her parents hearts and the little sister upon whom the older sister lavished all of her love and affection. The parents and olderr sister Kathrine are well nigh crazed with grief and have been unable to see any of their friends today.

The funeral services will be held next Monday afternoon.

Relatives from California, Topeka and Chicago are expected to arrive in time for the funeral.

MARGARET TURNEY LAID TO REST.

One of the most impressive funeral services held in Fairfield occurred Monday morning at ten o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dillon Turney when relatives and very intimate friends assembled to hear the last words spoken over the remains of Margaret Turney. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Turney and answered the call of the Death Angel Thursday evening, February 22d.

The service was private, but notwithstanding this fact, the home was crowded with sorrowing relatives and friends. Short and simple was the last services. Miss Cora Ball and Mr. P. J. Easton both sang solos and Rev. W. A. Wolgemuth, pastor of the First Lutheran church, delivered the sermon and spoke feelingly of the life of this bright little child.

Seldom has such a large number of floral offerings been seen in Fairfield, banks and banks of beautiful flowers surrounding the casket wherein reposed the early remains of the child. At the conclusion of the services the funeral party went to Evergreen cemetery where the body was placed in a vault.
