INFANT DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. BERNARD HALLER PASSES

Mary Haller, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Haller passed away at the family home in this city early Tuesday morning from convulsions superinduced by whooping cough.

Little Mary was born September 7, 1922, and was nearly one year old, a bright, winsome baby that was the delight of the household. All Monday night physicians were working trying to keep her alive and all known resources available were used to save her to the family but it was of no avail and the little spirit was wafted to her heavenly home. The heart of every parent who passed through the same sorrow beats in unison with those of the grief-stricken young parents and know how heavy is their burden.

The funeral rites were performed at the home Wednesday at 9 a.m. Father Beyersdorfer having charge and burial was made in the Catholic Cemetery.
