Lulu, the Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shockley, Died on Friday Last
On Friday, at noon of last week, Lulu Shockley, the eldest daughter of Thomas Shockley, was passing the Lander Hotel and went inside telling the people that she felt sick. Mr. and Mrs. Nickerson came to her aid, but she died in a few minutes. This death was a great shock to the community as she was well known, not only in Lander, but to a large circle outside. Lulu was 15 years old last September and numbered among her friends a host of young people with whom she was very popular. She had been attending school in Lander this winter and the day before her death had a fainting fit in the school. She did not return to the school on Friday, and just before noon told Mrs. Fosher, with whomshe was boarding, that she would go up town, and had reached the Lander Hotel on this trip, as above stated. Her funeral took place on Sunday from the Methodist church and that edifice was not large enough to hold the crowd that had assembled. Her school mates attended in a body and occupied front seats in the church. Rev. George Mooney preached the funeral sermon and touchingly alluded to the deceased and at the close of his remarks there were few dry eyes in the church. The pall bearers were six young ladies, her school associates. They were Minnie Jones, Mable Cheney, Jennie DeWolf, Josie Wroe, Edith Signor and Effie Jones.
Thirty-five carriages containing her friends followed the remains to the Odd Fellows' cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Shockley will receive the earnest sympathy of all our citizens in this their sad bereavement.
