FROM OVER THE COUNTY.

––––––––––––––––

HOPEWELL.

––––

We are sorry indeed to learn of the sudden death of the eldest child of Morgan and Laura Banta (nee Bergen). We understand death was due to mem­branous croup.

Anna Bergen is now in Kentucky, having gone to attend the funeral of her sister’s child.

Margaret Bergen was at church Sunday and is visiting in our vicinity this week. She, too, was called to Ken­tucky by the death of her sister’s child, and stopped here on her return home. Miss Bergen is in the state charity work and will go to Muncie in a few days and have charge of the charity work there.
