After an illness lasting over four weeks, Miss Mina Bigelow died last Tuesday morning. Her sickness was typhoid pneumonia, and for the past ten days she has scarcely known anyone. Her physical condition was such that it was difficult to treat her with the usual medicines for such cases. She was past sixteen years of age and a great favorite with her classmates at school and the young people generally. The funeral will take place at the Christian church Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

The funeral of Miss Mina Bigelow was held at the Christian church last Thursday afternoon. The ninth and tenth grades of which she was a member were dismissed shortly before three o’clock and marched directly to the church. The floral offerings were many and showed in a measure only the high esteem in which she was held by all who knew her, all of whom join in extending their sympathy to the bereaved family.
