JOSIE DUNGAN.

Josie, the little daughter of Prof. and Mrs. J. M. Dungan, passed from earth on Thursday of last week. She was a lovable child, and no words can express the grievous sorrow which her death has brought to her parents. The funeral services were held at the Christian church, on Saturday, conducted by Elder Wiles, assisted by Prof. W. J. Williams.
