Jessa Nowels’ Daughter Dead.

Edith, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jessa Nowels, now of Jordan Tp., nine miles south west of town, died Wednesday, after a very brief illness —so brief in fact that the little one’s death occurred before a doctor could reach her. The disease was cholera infantum. Her age was nearly two years. The remains were brought through Rensselaer yesterday and interment made in Saylerville cemetery west of town. No funeral servces were held.
