SMALL SCRATHC CAUSES DEATH OF GIRL


Linda, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schendel, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield, early Saturday morning Oct. 31, 1925., following a serious operation.


Linda received a small scratch on her head while at play at the Eaton Center school about a week ago. Then on Tuesday evening of last week she again bumped her head and on Thursday her condition became worse and medical examination disclosed that blood poisoning had set in.


She was taken to the hospital and everything possible was done to save her life, but it was too late and she passed away.


Deceased was born in Monroe County, Wis., Feb 23, 1914, where she spent most of her girlhood. In the spring of 1925 she, with her parents, moved to Greenwood, Clark County and lived on what is known as the John Miller farm, 4 miles southeast of this city.


Linda was a bright, loving little girl and was 11 years, 8 months and 8 days of age at the time of her death. She was in the 6th grade at the Eaton Center school. She will be missed, not only by her family, but by her teachers, schoolmates and friends in general.


Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, where a large crowd gathered to pay their last respects to this loved one. The body was taken to Wilton, Monroe County, Monday and was laid to rest in the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery at that place.


She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schendel, four brothers, Henry, Leo, Edwin and Herbert and two sisters, Iren and Florence.
The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends. (Eaton Center Corr.)
