Beatrice Kellogg Walrath Root, daughter of Alfred E. Root, died at the Kellogg homestead this village last Friday
morning. March 30th at the age of three and one half years.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. It was a private service, conducted by Rev. W. L. Sawtelle
of the Presbyterian church. The interment was in the family lot at Oakwood, where many sympathizing friends had gathered
to pay their tokens of affection for the little one.
The life of little Beatrice was of short duration, but the sphere of her unconscious influence was a large one. Coming
into the place made vacant by the sad death of the mother who yielded her own life for her child, she had gathered to herself
all the love and affection that a father and grandparents could bestow. uncommonly sheltered as she was from the harmful
influences that often surround the lives of children, she was developing into a beautiful childhood.
Naturally an affectionate child, and full of her winning ways, she was the joy of the home, and all who knew her could
not but love her. She will be sadly missed and to those whose hearts are so burdened with sorrow, the sympathy of all
friends is given in abundant measure.
