One
of the saddest events that it has been our duty to report, is the death
of Sylvia Mast, the little six-year-old daughter of Henry Mast, which occurred
on Saturday morning at 12:40, after an illness of 10 days, with atypical
typhoid.The loss of
the little one is mourned, not only by the family alone, but by everyone
who is familiar with the terrible experience and unfortunate circumstances
to which the entire family has been subjected during the past two weeks.Six other
members of the family were sick in varying degrees at the same time, and
although some of them are considerably improved, Mrs. Mast is still very
seriously ill.Dr. Heaton,
who has been a faithful and constant attendant almost day and night, held
a consultation Saturday night with Dr. Walsh of Roundup, and it was decided
to take three of the children, Elfie, Byron and Myrtle, to the hospital
in that city, where they will receive the best of care. Julius Miller took
them down Sunday afternoon, in Mr. Grant's automobile.Rev. C.W.
Cartwright conducted the funeral services, which were held at the home of
Mrs. Mast's grandmother Mrs. Friend. Short services were also held at the
grave yard, where a large number of people gathered in sympathy for the
departed one and her sorrowing parents, brothers and sisters, only one brother
and sister being able to attend.The case is
a sad one in the extreme, and although everything possible for human hands
and medical skill was done, a feeling of the utmost sympathy is extended
by the entire community.
