Dewhurst, Lillian (1866 - 1873)

Died, in this place (Neillsville, Clark County), on the 28th of Nov. 1873, of typhoid Intermittent Fever, Lillian, daughter of R. Maria S. Dewhurst, aged 7 years and 3 months.

Lillian was a most beautiful and promising child, the idol of her own home and the pet of all that knew her. She was taken sick during the first week of November, and grew rapidly worse until her disease baffled the loving care of friends, and the skill of the physicians, who during the last week remained with her night and day. She suffered indiscernibly from the first, and when death care, it was a welcome release from that but a few weeks before had seemed so bright with happy surroundings and still happier promise.
