BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE GOES OUT

LITTLE GLADYS ADAMS DIES OF MALIGNANT DIPHTHERIA

Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Robinson are in receipt of a letter from Mrs. A.C. Adams, at Burwell, giving particulars of the illness and death of their little daughter, Gladys, who was stricken with malignant diphtheria the evening they arrived at their new home. The family was quarantined at once and have remained in quarantine ever since. Little Gladys lingered for two weeks, paralysis of the vocal chords, heart failure and stomach trouble combining to end her innocent young life. Little Gladys was a general favorite here in Blair, so much better known than other little girls of her age, on account of her sunny disposition and little womanly ways, and a host of Blair people will sympathize with her parents in their distress and grief, amongst strangers, isolated, their situation is beyond realization. Mrs. Adams' letter is an agonizing cry of despair, such as can only emanate from a mother's heart when broken with grief. Gladys Rae Adams was eight years of age: born June 5th, 1906; died Oct. 14 1914.
