Miss Tressa Lemerond died at her home in the South ward, yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock, of consumption, after an illness of one year, at the age of twenty years, two months and three days. With wife and four children - his entire family - dead - Mr. Lemerond is indeed to be pitied, and friends extend sympathy in his great bereavement. The funeral will be held from St. Peter’s church, Saturday, at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday before she died, Tressa selected her own pallbearers, communicating her desire to a lady friend. They are as follows: Howard Kennedy, Gilbert Morrow, Jr., Howard Simpson, Peter Davis, George and Joseph Williams.

Again come the sad tidings that death has claimed another pure and noble heart - a man with bright prospects, of noble character and moral strength, whose life was a blessing to his fellows.
