We regret to learn of the death of little Purvis Crum, eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Crum, of Rosetta, which occurred at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans on Tuesday, where he had been taken for treatment last Friday. His remains were brought back to his home in Rosetta and interred in the family burial grounds at Hopewell church on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Cross officiating. The bereaved parents have our sincere sympathy in their time of sorrow.
