"DEATH CAUSES PROFOUND SORROW"
"There has not been a death in the vicinity of Biloxi in recent years which has caused more profound sorrow than that of Miss Dorothy Folkes, the fourteen(sic) year old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Folkes, who died at Nazareth College, Kentucky, yesterday morning. When the news was first received regarding the serious illness of the young lady, Dr. and Mrs. Folkes and daughter, Miss Josephine, immediately prepared to go to her bedside but they had not gotten any further than Mobile when it was necessary for them to return to Biloxi as their beloved one had passed to the great beyond. Not only did Biloxians receive news of the death with deepest regret, but they were even more sorrowful when it was learned that the immediate relatives were unable to reach her bedside. Her sister, Miss Anna, who went to College with her last week, was at her bedside continuously during her illness. Miss Dorothy was born and reared in Biloxi where she grew up under the tender care of Christian parents, and was regarded as one of the brightest young women of the city. She made numerous friends by her sweet and jovial disposition, in school and about the city. The fourteen(sic) years of her life seemed to have been lived in happiness. She had every care and most tender affection from her parents and other loved ones, and was held in the highest esteem by her numerous friends in this and other cities and by her college mates, with whom she was a favorite. Surviving her are a mother and father, two sisters, Misses Josephine and Anna. Miss Anna will accompany the body home. Funeral arrangements had not been completed at the noon hour, the entire family having been prostrated from the death of this beloved child. The body is expected to reach Biloxi tonight at 6:54 o'clock. A sister from the college she was attending will accompany Miss Anna and the body, which will arrive in Biloxi tonight on train No. 1 at 6:54 o'clock. The funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock at the Church of the Nativity and interment will be made in the Biloxi cemetery."
