DEATH OF JULIUS WHITE
Death has claimed the life of Julius Beer, the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Dick White, of Denison, the messenger coming to the home and demanding her as his yesterday just about noon.  For days the family and anxious friends watched by the side of the little sufferer, hoping against hope.
All that physicians could do was done.  Everything that neighbors and skillful nursing was acquainted with was resorted to to at least alleviate her suffering, but it was no use, as the summons had come and the spirit of the child has gone to Him who has so beautifully said, "Suffer little children to come unto me."
The sorrowing family has the sympathy of a host of Bonham friends.
The remains were laid to rest this afternoon at Denison, a large number of people from this city attending the funeral and burial services.
