LIGHT, Velma - L-Obituaries

After a decline of several weeks due to an organic affection of the heart,  MISS VELMA LIGHT,  the seventeen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Light, past from this life Thursday forenoon at their new home on east Jackson street.  The death is an unusually sad one, coming just as it did in the full bloom of youth when life held so much of promise for her.   Hopeful and ambitious she had entered into her work in the high school, where she was a member of the junior class, with such energy that it is thought to have undermined her strength.  Conscious to the last she clung to life hopefully and fought bravely against the relentless claim of death.  She had been failing gradually for several weeks, and at times suffered intensely with rheumatism, but few of her friends knew of the seriousness of her condition until within a day or two preceding her death. She was a bright girl, tender hearted and affectionate and had won a warm place in the hearts of her schoolmates, although most of them had known her a short time. Funeral services were held Sunday. --                            Attica Ledger-Press.
