Sad Deaths.

––––––

Last week the Democrat made men­tion of the death of Herman Trefflich. This week it becomes necessary to record the death of his two eldest daughters, Nellie, age twenty years who died Sunday morning and was buried Tuesday afternoon, Gertrude, two years older, died Wednesday morning and will be buried this afternoon. In each case death was due to the same dread disease, consumption. Thus in the short space of ten days, three members of one family pass away.

Those who survive, the wife and mother, with three daughters, have the profound sympathies of the entire com­munity in their sad bereavement.
