Death of Flossie Collver

The heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out to the family of Mr. Seymour Collver in the loss they have sustained by the death of his bright little daughter, Flossie.

She was visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Adams, in Aylmer, when she was taken sick with inflamation of the bowels and after a few days illness died on Saturday last.

The remains were brought to her father's residence  from where the funeral took place Tuesday morning to Greenwood cemetery, services being conducted by Rev. J. W. Mann, of Bloomsburg.

After thirteen years of joyous life they laid Flossie to rest amid beautiful flowers the gifts of sympathizing friends.

A large boquet from her school mates, among whom she was a general favorite, of their love and sorrow.

Not only they but many an older friend will miss her bright face and generous, happy disposition.
