• Obituary*: "Death has again marched steadily and silently with his sharp sickle and gathered one of earth’s children, one of the sweetest and fairest that has ever bloomed. Wednesday the death angel came again and took from our midst one of our dear ones, Ethel Loop. Her life was like the flowers of the earth after gently budding, they bloom but a short time and we know not their worth until the sweet odor of their lives has gone from us.
     "She was sick about two weeks with spinal meningitis and although all human assistance was given it proved worthless. Death seemed to hover over her home for several days and about noon Wednesday he came with noiseless descent and with touch soft and light he closed the tired eyes of our dear companion, and folded in kindly arm the spirit of her we mourn he took her from us.
     "She is not dead, the one we mourn,
       In deep and chastened sorrow;
     "Her spirit has but gone to dwell
       Where ours may be tomorrow.
     "There cometh ever in our grief
       Amid our sighs and weeping,
     "The blessed and consoling thought
       She is not dead but sleeping
     "She was about fifteen years of age and of a bright and loving disposition and will be greatly missed not only by parents and relatives, but also by her numerous friends. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community."¹¹
• Note*: She died of spinal meningitis after about two weeks' illness.¹²
