CHILD DEAD FROM INJURY

Edna Buck, Aged Five Years, Passed Away at Home of Uncle, R.G. Mell—House is Under Quarantine.

Edna Buck, the five-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Buck, died last evening about 9 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mell on Silver Brook avenue, as the result of internal injuries sustained by a fall from a shed while at play last Monday afternoon.

The circumstances surrounding the death are peculiarly sad.

The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mell has been ill for a few days, and yesterday her illness was diagnosed as scarlet fever, and the home was placed under quarantine. Friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Mell are unable to attend them during the hour of sorrow and anxiety which has come upon them.

Mr. Buck brought his family to Niles about two weeks ago from Akron, Ohio and they are temporarily stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mell. Mrs. Buck is employed at the Kawneer.

The little girl was born in Edwardsville, Ill., in May, 1912, at the home of Mrs. Buck's mother. Besides the parents a brother survives her.

The funeral services will be private and will probably be held on Monday, the arrangements not having been completed pending the arrival of relatives from Edwardsville.
