Opal, Daughter of Orville Anderson and Wife, Gone to Rest.
Opal, the four year-old daughter of Orville Anderson and wife of the Hawkins neighborhood, was drowned about 4 o'clock, Wednesday, March 28th.
Little Opal and her three brothers and sisters were out playing in the barnyard, and she had been running around the lot with a cow bell strapped about her neck, which she threw into a pond of water and had gone in to get it. Her eight year-old brother saw her and ran in and got her out, but she was dead when he reached her. The water was not more than a foot deep, but she probably mired down in the mud and fell.
Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, from the Fairview church, by James Nickels, and the remains tenderly laid to rest in the church cemetery. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones in this their time of great sorrow.
