Death Ends a Life of Suffering.

Death last Wednesday, Jan. Bth, relieved the sufferings of poor little Agnes Minnicus, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Andy Minnicus, always, until recently, residents of Rensselaer, but now of Francesville. The cause of hdr death was a cancerous affection, and which originated in an accidental injury to one of her legs, during infancy. Something over two years ago the injured leg was amputated, but that only afforded temporary relief, and the cancer broke out in different parts of her body, but especially the head and the jaw, and her case became one of the worst of the kind ever known to the medical profession; and death when it came was a blessed release. Her age was about 12 years. The funeral was held at Francesville Friday.
