In Memoriam:
Nancy Valentine Hurley, died at the home of her grandfather,
G.W. Hurley, on Jan. 9, 1906. Little Vallie, as we called her,
was the image of her mother, who preceded her to realms above
on March 10, 1905. Little Vallie was in the care of her
grandmother for about two months, and the writer learned to
love her. She was almost eleven months old.
Her cousin.
