Death of Miss Harriet Irick.

The death of Miss Harriet Irick, which occurred at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Irick, near Grassdale, last Saturday, was indeed a sad one. Just budding into young womanhood, she gave promise of a beautiful life, surrounded as she was by a devoted father and mother and loving kindred and friends, and possessed of a sweet and amiable disposition she made friends of all with whom came in contact.

She has been an invalid for several years and bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and patiently waited the summons which shall come to all.

The fond parents and little sisters, have the sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends. The funeral services were held at Cassville, and conducted by Rev. W. T. Bell. A large concourse of friends assembled to witness the last sad rites.
