DEATH OF AN INFANT.

Rosa Lee, age 15 months, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Goldsmith, of Fort Pierce, died suddenly, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Walker, in North Titusville, Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, after a short illness.

The little one had been quite ill with fever and eczema, but was thought to be improving; in fact she was so much better that Mr. Goldsmith left, Tuesday afternoon, for Fort Pierce, to attend to his business. He was telegraphed for and arrived Thursday morning at 3 o'clock, accompanied by his brother, Mr. Maurice Goldsmith, wife and baby.

The funeral was held from the Walker residence at 2 p.m. Thursday. The interment was in LaGrange cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Goldsmith have the sympathy of all in their affliction.
