Obituary

Margaret Cottingham Called Home Little Margaret, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William ham, was born at Danville, Illinois, November 25, 1911, and passed away at Momence, Illinois, September 25, 1917, aged 5 years and 10 months, after only two days’ illness of that terrible disease, diphtheria. The remains were laid to rest in the Momence cemetery on the same day of her death. Little Margaret was taken sick on Sunday and everything known to medical skill was done for her relief, but the Heavenly Father wanted another bright star and called our little one home. She was a bright little girl, and as she had just started to school leaves many little school girl friends. She also leaves her father, mother, two sisters, Thelma and Helen, and he r grandparents, besides other near relatives. The dear Lord has called little Margaret To dwell on His own dear throne: We shall miss her from our fireside. We shall miss her from our home; But we close our eyes, dear Lord, and say. Thy will, not ours, be done. •* A new supply of parchment butterwrappers just received at The Democrat office and will be sold at the old price of 30 cents per 100.
