    Edna Zook Dead

    Edna Zook, only daughter of Frank and Daisy Zook, died April 15, 1910, at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Hawks, in this city after an illness of several weeks from scarlet fever.

    The end came unexpectedly, as it was said she had passed the critical stage of the disease and her symptoms bid fair for her recovery. But a sudden relapse Friday, proved too strong for her delicate condition, and in spite of tender nursing and medical attention she passed into the mystic world whose portals are death.

    Edna Zook was born in Rossville, Nov. 22, 1896 and was 14 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Zook live on the farm four miles north of Rossville and Edna had been staying in town to attend school. She was in the sixth grade with Miss Turney as teacher. Edna was a member of the Friends Church by birthright, but had intimately associated herself with the Presbyterian Church and Sunday School.

    Owing to the contagious nature of the disease the funeral was held at the house Sunday afternoon where Rev. Lamb of the Presbyterian Church conducted a short, yet impressive, service. The afternoon was cold and blustering but the yard was full of sympathizing friends and neighbors. The interment took place in the City cemetery.
