Little Mary was an exceedingly bright, attractive and affectionate child, of a happy disposition and always singing, and could but be dearly beloved by all who knew her. She was the pet and the baby of the family, and her sudden death was a great shock. (Followed by a long paragraph of religious nature.) The funeral services took place at the M.E. church at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and a large congregation was present. Rev. Goddard conducted the exercises and gave some very tender and affecting remarks. A large number also accompanied the remains to the cemetery, notwithstanding the threatened inclemency of the weather. (Also, page 3) Drowned**-- A very sad accident occurred in Cherokee Monday evening at about half past 6 o'clock, by which little Mary Jamison -- or Mollie, as she was called, lost her life. She saw her papa coming home and ran down the walk to meet him. He carried her to the house and put her down, when she sat down in the doorway and began to sing. He went with her mother out to the chicken yard and back through the garden, not being over 50 feet from the house, when they missed Mollie, though she had been there 4 or 5 minutes before. The mother ran across the street to a neighbor's, thinking probably she had gone there, while the father went into the bedroom, seeking her, as she sometimes in play ran in there and hid. The mother then went around the house, and saw her head downward in a barrel of water. She screamed and took her out, when the father ran out and took the child and did everything to bring her back to life, but she gasped only once or twice and all was over. help came and the doctor was there in a very few minutes, all trying to restore life. They worked hard, doing everything possible, even using a battery, but after an hour's work saw that it was no longer needed, as little Mary was dead. It was indeed a sad affair. Especially, that one so happy, pure and innocent, in such a few moments, should be called from this life in so, apparently, unlikely manner. The barrel was a small one, holding probably 15 or 20 gallons, and was sunk in the ground and used for rainwater. Into this it was that dear little Mollie had fallen head first and met her death. The next morning the wash basin was found in the barrel, and it is probable Mollie attempted to dip out some water when in some way she fell in. The parents and brothers are well-nigh heartbroken over the accident, and all the more so, to think that they were so near and could have saved her had they known. The sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaved family in their sorrow.
