Catherine Maloy, Aged Ten, Died Tuesday Afternoon at Lowell After Short Sickness. Catherine Maloy, aged 9 years and 9 months, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Maloy, in Lowell, Tuesday afternoon, after a brief sickness that defied the skill of the Lowell physicians and of the Chicago specialist who was called in consultation. The little girl had not been strong since she suffered a severe attack of scarlet fever when somewhat younger, her heart being as fected. She was a very bright and attractive child apd was a great favorite in. Lowell, where all the people of the town showed an anxious concern for her. From tfie very start her sickness was extremely severe and only the faintest ray of hope was held out for her recovery and the little life slowly ebbed away. The parents, both of whom are former Rensselaer people and both graduates of the Rensselaer high school, are heart-broken at their loss and their Christmas, which had given promise a"few days before of being such a cheerful one, has brought anguish into the home that it will take a long time to relieve. The relatives here are burdened with sorrow, for all had loved the little sunbeam and have keenly felt the sacrifice of ner death. Nine of the relatives went to Lowell this Thursday morning and accompanied the grief-stricken parto Rensselaer on the 2 o’clock train this afternoon and the funeral will he held here and burial he made In Weston cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Maloy have only one other child, a son of about 11 years.
