Last Sunday the child complained of feeling badly. Later in the evening she became worse and a physician was summoned. He diagnosed the case as an attack of indigestion. The girl did not improve as rapidly as expected, and when the doctor called again he made an examination and announced the illness an attack of croup. Nothing serious was expected to result until Thursday, when the physician again called and this time said the girl had contracted diphtheria. Her condition became worse yesterday and last night shortly before 9 o'clock, she died. The body will be shipped to Seward Monday, where the funeral services and interment will take place. ---------- Lincoln Star newspaper, Lincoln, NB Saturday 17 November 1906; Page 2, Column 6 DEATHS LITTLE FERN SHANK DIED OF DIPHTHERIA She Was a Member of The Epworth M. E. Church After an illness of five days with diphtheria, little Fern Shank, the ten-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Shank, 2952 Starr Street, died at 8:45 o'clock last night at her home. The little girl suffered a great deal during her illness until the last few hours before her death when she seemed to have been resting with ease. She was a Christian, having been converted about a year ago at the Epworth M. E. Church. She was a charming singer, and at the church, where she frequently rendered vocal solos, she was loved by everybody. "I hear the angels singing," were her last words shortly before she breathed her last. Besides her parents, she leaves a sister, Mrs. Gertrude Bagert(sic), of Milford, NB, and three brothers, Logan E. Shank, of Normal, J. W. Shank and Glen(sic) Shank, of Lincoln. The body will be taken at 10 o'clock Monday morning to Seward, Nebraska for burial. ---------- Nebraska State Journal newspaper, Lincoln, NB Sunday 25 November 1906; Page 14, Column 1 CARD OF THANKS - While today we are sad and bowed down in grief for the one so suddenly taken from us, we wish to thank our many friends for their beautiful tokens of love and sympathy in the death and burial for our darling little Fern.
