CARRIE PFEFFER Died in Life's Morning. Carrie Pfeffer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pfeffer, died at the parental home last Saturday afternoon of membranous croup, aged fourteen years. All that medical skill and loving care could do to save the little sufferer proved to be of no avail and, surrounded by the tearful faces of near and dear ones, she passed from life to the shadowy realm. Death is at all times a grim visitor, but his coming seems doubly hard when it takes off one for whom life seemed to hold so much of rosy promise. Of a sweet, loving disposition, little Carrie was the idol of her parents and of a large circle of friends and playmates. It is sad, indeed to think that she should be called away just at the beginning of life's morning when the joys of earth were keenly felt and the little one was just beginning to take her place in the great drama of life. But He who doeth all things, well ordained the sad ending. The loved ones left behind will feel the bitterness of their loss, but, in the night of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. The funeral was held Monday afternoon and was attended by a large number of friends who took the opportunity of tendering the last sad tribute of respect to the memory of the dear departed. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Manitowoc, Wis. Wednesday, October 19, 1898 P. 1
