Mention was made in our last
issue of Mrs. M. J. Jarrell’s trip
to El Paso to attend the bedside
of her son Tom. She was too late
to see him alive, as he died before
her arrival. He had been sick in
the hospital there for six weeks
with typhoid fever. The body
was brought here for interment
and was buried Monday at Sand
Hill cemetery, after funeral ser-
vices at the family residence in
this city conducted by Rev.
Sweeton. The family have the
sympathy of the entire commu
nity in their sad bereavement.
