Klopf, Erna (? - 17 NOV 1905)

Last Friday at 10 p.m. the darling child of Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Klopf breathed her innocent soul into the hands of her Creator at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield. About two weeks prior to her death, little Erna was taken seriously sick with an attack of appendicitis, which at first seemed to yield to medical treatment. She began to gain and for several days it appeared as though she was out of danger; but at the beginning of last week her condition grew more alarming. On Thursday she was taken to Marshfield to be operated on. Soon after the operation it was realized that she was beyond redemption, that her system had already absorbed too much toxin, coming from a puss formation in her side, and nothing could stay the inevitable?(the rest of my copy was cut off)
