The Republican, Coulterville, Randolph, IL
Lulu May Cairns aged 12 years, 9 months and 11 days, second daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert John Cairns, died December 1, 1904, at the home of
her parents in Coulterville. Deceased, while never of robust health,
was taken ill quite suddenly and after a few hours of suffering passed
to her reward. All that medical skill could devise was tried but in
vain. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved parents and the sister
and brother. Lulu May had endeared herself in the home, and because of
her feeble health was the constant companion of her mother, but God, who
doeth all things well, saw fit to take her to that house not made with
hands, where suffering and sorrow are unknown. The funeral services were
held in the R.P. Church (Reformed Presbyterian) church Saturday
afternoon at one o=92clock, and were conducted by Dr. J. L. Chesnut.
Many=
of Lulu=92s schoolmates and friends were present. The interment was in
th=
e
Coulterville cemetery. The Republican extends sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.
