ESTHER  OELZE DEAD
Miss Esther Oelze, aged 17 years, 10 months and 16 days, died Thursday at the home of her parents, No. 823 W. Texas street.  The young lady was the victim of the white plague - consumption.
The deceased was our neighbor in the country south.  She was a very nice and affable girl and greatly admired by those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. We are sorry that death has invaded the household of Mr. and Mrs. Oelze and snatched away their daughter, who was one of the brightest treasures of their home.
The funeral took place Thursday afternoon and the interment was at Maple Grove Cemetery.
