Sad Bereavement
We regret to learn that Mr. Joseph Harvey of Burleigh has met with a sad loss in the death of three of his children by diptheria.  Harry a boy of six died Friday night after an illness of only a few hours.  Edith aged 11 died on Sunday morning.  And Vaughn aged 4 on Wednesday others are ill with it but we trust they may be spared to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey who have the sympathies of all in this hour of trial and trouble.
