-Last Friday our people were stricken with sympathetic sadness by the sudden death of little Dorothy, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. JENSON. She was 7 years of age and a beautiful picture of health and happy childhood. She had been skipping the rope, with which she was a graceful expert, and on coming into the house complained of pain in the side, and Mrs. McKNIGHT put her on the bed, where she became almost immediately unconscious and only rallied for a moment, having died before medical help or her father had arrived. Mrs. JENSON was in Otter Lake, caring for her mother who is critically ill, and the mourning father took the body of the little one to that place for burial. (3 Apr 1902)-Our citizens will regret to learn that E. W. JENSON and family are leaving us to move on to their farm near Otter Lake, in Lapeer county, having already sold their home on Ionia street.

After the sad event of so sudden a death among the child life of our community, followed the pathos of a child funeral. Friends in Grayling gave many flowers, friends at Otter Lake, added to them, until the beautiful clay was imbedded in blossoms at burial. Her friends about the home of her grandparents crowded the little church, while old family friends aided in the last rites. Her own pastor spoke a few words of consolation and we laid her to rest in the quiet of a village cemetery. The hands that laid her away in childish innocence, bearing back from her grave great bunches of Easter Lilies, symbol of our Hope, the essence of which is more tangible to us amid such leave-taking.
