One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Hereford in years was that of little J.T. Jowell, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G.R. Jowell, who passed away Tuesday afternoon.
The little fellow was operated on for appendicitis during the winter, but his physical condition was such that he never really recovered, and after lingering for months in the Hereford Sanitarium finally lost the unequal struggle.
Funeral services were held from the Christian Church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J.M. Asbell and Rev. W.M. Baker.
Little J.T.'s cheerfulness and childish fortitude during his trouble endeared everyone to him, and his untimely passing is a blow to the community. The Brand joins our entire citizenship in sympathy for the grief-stricken parents, brothers and sisters.
