DEATH OF DEAN VANCE HARRINGTON

Dean Vance Harrington, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Harrington, was born at the home of his grandparents in Virgie, Ind., Nov. 3, 1914, and died at the Jasper County Hospital in Rensselaer, Ind., June 11, 1918, age 3 years, 7 months and 8 days. Dean was a remarkably bright child and idolized by all who knew him. He bore his long sickness with remarkable patience and fortitude. While everything was done that love or money could do to soothe the ill of life all proved unavailing and his brave lovely and patient spirit was compelled to vacate its tenement of clay for “a house not made with hands.” , If as Mrs. Stowe says there is a special bond of Angels kept in heaven to be sent down to gladden us with their presence for a brief space of time, then to take their upward flight bearing our hearts with them, surely Deanie was one of them and with complete Christian resignation and fortitude we will say not farewell but good bye Deanie till we meet again in that land where death will be felt and feared no more. The funeral will be Conducted by Rev. D. C. Hill Thursday afternoon at the Christian church in Fair Oaks and the burial will be made in the Fair Oaks cemetery.
