A VERY SAD DEATH—MISS IDA LASSARE ANSWERS THE CALL OF THE REAPER
Miss Ida Lassare, daughter of Captain and Mrs. Joseph Lassare passed away at one o’clock yesterday morning after an illness of ten days of typhoid fever.
The very sad news will bring deepest sorrow to the hearts of a large circle of friends who loved and esteemed the deceased for the manifold ennobling characteristics with which she was endowed. Just budding into beautiful young womanhood, comely of face and figure and with the sunniest of natures she had endeared herself to all whose fortune it was to have known her.
To those broken-hearted parents, who are bowed in grief over the very sad and inscruitible [sic] work of fate which removes from their hearts and homes all that is nearest and dearest.
THE CALL joins all Brunswick in extending its best sympathy.
Their sorrow, while deep and painful must find some consolation in the realization and knowledge of the fact that the bright young life has entered that celestial home where peace and happiness knows no end.
As an expression of sympathy all the vessels in the harbor are displaying their flags at half mast.
The funeral will occur at three o’clock this afternoon from St. Xavier’s Catholic church; the following gentlemen acting as paul [sic] bearers:
G.A. Manoe, Duncan Wright, C.E. Arnold, W.W. Brockington, Sam Thompson, and W.W. Tabbot.
