OBITUARY
Lulu May Cairnes, aged 12 yrs, 9 months and 11 days, second daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cairnes, died December 1st, 1904, at the home of her
parents in Coulterville. Deceased, while never of very 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 house, and because of
her feeble health was the constant compainionof 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 sevices were
held in the R. P. Church Sturday afternoon at one o'clock, and were
conducted by Dr. J. L. Chesnut. Many of Lulu's schoolmates and friends
were present. The interment was in theCoulterville cemetery. The
REPUBLICAN extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
Lulu was the daughter of Robert J. Cairnes and Mary Ann Laughlin. her
siblings included Walter Cairnes, and Mary Ellen Cairnes. She was born
Feb. 20, 1892 in Nashville, IL.
Searching CARNES, CAIRNES, CARNS, CAIRNS,KEARNS, KARNS, KEARNES, I think
if you were a a member of this family you could spell your name anyway
you wanted.
Have CAIRNS in IL, 1800's. Would like to be of any help to any one
searching for this family.
Thanks,
