The community was shocked Wed
I nesday morning by the announcement,
of the death of Miss Gertrude Lenore
Enright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

a few people in O’Neill had knowledge
of her illness which began Sunday
when she complained of not feeling
well. Dr. Gilligan was called Monday;
she continued to grow worse rapidly
and Tuesday she maintained a fever
of 108; a nurse was procured from Nor
folk; Tuesday, symptoms developed
that caused the physician to pronounce
the illness hemorrhagic Scarlet fever.
Nothing could be done to stay the hand
of death and the young lady passed
away at 4:00 a. m. Wednesday morn
ing. As soon as it was known that
Gertrude was suffering with scarlet

; not arrived when the end came.

! in this city all of her life. She was
; sixteen years, eleven months and fif

class of St. Mary’s Academy and waa
also a member of the normal train
ing class. She had been absent from
her studies at the Academy on account
of the flu, for several days prior to her
illness.
Gertrude was a young lady who en
joyed a wide circle of friends among
the young people as well as the older
ones and her death will be keenly felt
by the neighbors with whom she came
in daily contact.
The funeral services were conducted
by Monsignor M. F. Cassidy thia
(Thursday) morning from the family
home, burial was in Calvary cemetery.

two sisters, Miss Loretta, who is

able drivers’ seats.
It is a six with the added power of
a larger L-head engine and the added
smoothness imparted by a dynami
cally balanced, counter-weighted
crankshaft and the famous flarraonltf
Balancer. Its new brakes are of tbs
dirt-and-weather-proof Intern af four
wheel type.
