After having been confined to her bed since the 9th of March with consumption, Hazel Metzinger, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. George Metzinger, breathed her last on Sunday and on Tuesday afternoon, all that was mortal of the once bright little girl was borne out to the cemetery and laid to rest beside the grave of her father, who passed away only a few months ago.
Hazel Metzinger was a sweet, lovable child and a favorite with all her friends and it is such that the grim reaper delights to gather. While she had been a great sufferer all through her illness and required constant care, she had been patient, and considerate of her mother, who was compelled to divide her time between Hazel and her eighteen-year-old daughter, Gladys, who is also very low with the same disease.
On Friday Hazel told her mother and some girl friends that she would die on Sunday, and told them just how she wanted to be dressed for her burial and requested that the same quartette which sang at her papa's funeral should sing the same selections for her own. Her request was complied with to the letter.
The funeral was held at the home on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Volck conducting the service. Six girl schoolmates carried the casket which was hidden in a mass of flowers contributed by those who had loved the little girl in life.
The mother and the other relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this sad hour and it is earnestly wished that no further sorrow may darken their lives.
