Tom House and wife and P. E. Packwood;s are under quarantine, little Helen House having died of diphtheria.

Helen Myree House beloved and only daughter of Tom and Ida House was born 23 Nov. 1911, and died 12 Feb. 1914. Aged 2 years, 2 months and 20 days. Although so young little Helen gave promise of an unusually brilliant mind and her disposition endeared her to everyone to whom she was associated. We did not realize to what an extent this sweet young life had entwined around our hearts until death suddenly snatched her from us. Helen gave promise of such noble womanhood that we thought of her future only as connected with her beautiful personality here on earth, but He who is wiser and more merciful has lifted her over the rugged way. Burial took place at Bear Creek cemetery Friday afternoon at 3 p. m.
