==============================
OBITUARY.
Virgil, little son of Henry and Laura Robards, died at his home, one half mile north of Bargersville, March 28, after a brief illness of scarlet fever. Virgil was a bright and loving boy, whose age was four years, five months and twenty days. He was the pride of loving parents, the idol of a little sister and brother, and a child loved by all who ever met him. A short song and prayer service were held at the residence, conducted by Bro. A. S. Deer, after which the loved form was placed in a snow-white casket and laid to rest in the Bargersville cemetery.
