Melbourne was most greatly shocked last Monday morning on receiving word that little Emery Shirley, son of Mrms. Ed Shirley had passed away Sunday night. His death was caused by a fall on the ice. Little Emery was a most lovable child. He had often visited relatives and friends here and will be greatly missed.

Miss Blanche Shirley who has spent the last few months in Colorado, came home Tuesday to attend the funeral of her little brother, Emery Shirley.
