It is with the most profound sorrow we announce the death of Thelma the sweet 
engaging little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Arthur Garver of Hill Valley.  The 
deceased was aged 7 years, 4 month and 4 days.  The bereaved parents and other 
friends have the sympathy of the entire community.  At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, 
after a short service at the home, the funeral cortege proceeded to Shirleysburg 
where service were held in the Methodist church at 10:30.  Interment in the 
Germany Valley cemetery.  Further particulars next week.    

A young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Garver fell ill and her parents took her 
to Dr. Nason's Hospital at Roaring Springs, and they determined to operate for 
appendicitis.  As they were placing her under the influence of ether, and before 
any attempt to operate had begun the child died.  She was aged 8 years.  Her 
funeral occurred Wednesday, burial at the Stone church, Germany Valley.  We 
tender sympathy to the bereaved parents.  

Transcribers Notes:  This is from a Mt. Union area newspaper.  No date on these 
two death notices however in the 1910 census, Thelma M. Garver, daughter of 
Arthur and Bertha Garver, was shown as 7 years old.  I am not related to this 
family. I found several newspaper obits in an old family bible.
