LITTLE WANDA LACKEY CALLED

Death claimed one of our sweetest and dearest little ones Monday morning when it took little Miss Wanda Lackey, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Lackey, who live on Pennsylvania Ave. Wanda was taken ill Thursday night, but was not considered seriously ill altho a physician was called and every thing done to relieve her. It came as a great shock to her parents when the little life passed quietly away, due to prostration. Wanda was 10 years, 1 mo. and 13 days of age, an unusually bright and happy child, always wearing a smile for every one. She possessed a very sweet voice and used it often in song at public meetings in our community. We can imagine at this Christmas time the little voice which so often gladdened our hearts with its song, blending with the great chorus in Heaven in its "Carols to the King" to whom she just lately gave her little life. Wanda was a member of the Baptist Sunday School and was president of the junior B. V. P. U.

She leaves beside her parents, two brothers, Harold and Donald, and two sisters, Lois and Floie, besides other relatives and friends, who will miss her greatly.

The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. E. E. Clayton of Payette, officiating. Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery at Payette.

CARD OF THANKS

We desire to thank the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our little Wanda, and for the beautiful floral offerings. C.M. Lackey and family Miss Irene Law.
