The Obituary of Little Elizabeth Patterson

“The sincere sympathy of many friends go out to Mr. and Mrs. James H. Patterson, of Greenlawn Heights, in the sad bereavement which has befallen them. Their little daughter, Elizabeth, died Saturday evening of spinal meningitis, at about half-past seven. She was three years and five months old. The remains were interred this morning at 10 o’clock.”1
