MEMORIAL SERVICE.

It Was Held For a High School Scholar.

Sunday at 2:30 p.m., was held the memorial service of Nellie M. Stambaugh at the Grace M.E. church. Her Sunday school class was present in company with many sorrowing friends of the deceased. Rev. Smith spoke feelingly of the sad death from diptheria which did not permit of a public service.

After other suitable remarks he introduced Professor Knight, of the Kent school, whose address was full of tender feeling for his pupil to whom he paid a high and deserving tribute as an earnest and faithful scholar. She had been attending the High School a part of a term when her health began to fail and from this time there was a steady and certain decline. She was born near Beach City, in Stark county, the 8th day of December 1883, and was therefore 16 years, three months, and 13 days of age.

She had fulfilled evey expectation to be kind, good and industrious and in return was much loved by all who knew her.

Her patience through all her suffering has been much spoken of and the beautiful smile a few minutes before she died along with the waving of her hand indicating a good-bye to her brothers, made hers a beaufitul death.
