Little Delphi Girl Lost Life By Drowaing Thursday.

Mrs. Julia A. Healey, of this city, received the sad information Thursday evening that her little granddaugher and namesake. Julia Anti Lyon, of Dell phi, had met death that afternoon by drowning. The* particulars reached here later. Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Lyon and little daughter were spending the day at the farm home of Arthur Gross, near Delphi. They were at the supper table in the evening and the little girl, who would have been three years of age on Sept. 14th, having finished, left the table and went into the yard. Not to exceed five minutes later the family went to the yard and she was found head downward lit a large copper kettle half filled with water. Apparently she had reached for something in the kettle and lost her balance. She was not dead when found but the family and doctors who were summoned, worked with her for over an hour and could not revive consciousness. Miss Florence Lyon, sister of the little girl, was In Rensselaer when the sad news was received. She went to Delphi on the early tralp this morning. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Delphi and will be attended by relatives from this place. Mrs. Lyon and.the little daughter visited here only, a few weeks ago and many here will remember pretty little Julia Abb.
