TAMPICO TORNADO - Thursday,  Aug. 20, 1914

In Memory Of Dortha Rollo

Dortha Millicent ROLLO, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmond ROLLO departed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Aug. 8th, aged two years, one month and fourteen days. She leaves her father and mother, four brothers and one sister to mourn her sudden departure. Death was due to cholera infantum and was not caused by eating green grapes as stated in last week's Tornado.

As this sweet flower that scents the dawn
And withers in the rising day,
Thus lovely was the infant's dawn
Thus swiftly sped it's life away.
Now like a dew drop shrined within a crystal stone,
Thou'rt safe in Heaven my dove!
Safe with the source of love,
The Everlasting Our
And when the hour arrives
From flesh that sets me free
Thy spirit may await
The first at Heaven's gate
To Meet and Welcome Me.

Funeral services were conducted from the Church of Christ Monday at 10 o'clock by F. V. KEARNS. Interment was made in Greenville cemetery.
