17 May, 1894 - The Pilot - Cecelia Matilda Anderson

DIED.

ANDERSON.-On Sunday afternoon, May 13. 1894, in Blair, Neb., of spinal meningitis, Cecelia Matilda Anderson, aged 5 years, 4 months and 23 days.

Cecelia was the beloved child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Anderson, who reside on east Lincoln street, and her death is & sad blow to the heart-broken parents. About a year ago they lost their infant babe, and now they are called upon to part with the light and joy of their home. Cecelia was a bright and pretty little girl, but after eighteen days of intense suffering she fell into a sweet sleep, and in death looked almost angelic. Jesus says: Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom heaven." It is a beautiful thought, so let us believe that all is for the best. The funeral was preached Tuesday at 12:30, and she was buried in the afternoon in the York Creek Cemetery.
