DIED - - - At Blair, Nebr., on Wednesday, April 30th, 1890, Belva, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Stewart, aged a little more than 5 years. The trouble that resulted in her death was a membranous croup, probably not diptheretic, but very obstinate. The little creature was taken sick on Saturday night and required some medical attention on Sunday morning. She grew worse rapidly and was attended almost constantly by the family physician, Dr. S. B. Taylor, and all was done that was possible under the culture and skill of the physician. Probably no physician could have done more.

She was greatly loved by her family and her loss is severely felt in her home. The loss falls upon Grandpa and Grandma Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and her uncles and aunts and their families, but of course no heart is more troubled than the heart of the young mother and father. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved, and point them to the great source of all consolation in the hour of affliction.
