Death of Little Bessie Henrichs
  Bessie Irene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Henrichs, died Nov. 27th at 11:30 p.m., at the family residence 329 south Franklin street, after a lingering and painful illness of typhoid fever. Her age was five years, seven months and 15 days. She was a lovely child and her death is a crushing blow to the doting parents. They have the sympathy of all in their affliction.
  The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence, Revs. N. D. Williamson and W. H. Hickman conducting the services.

[Bessie, b: 12 Apr 1879 in Indiana, was the daughter of Michael and Mattie (Mary) Minerva (Crockett) Henrich. [Heinrich] Bessie's brother, Harrison C Henrich, became something of a noted artist in the Los Angeles area. Bessie appears in the 1880 United States Federal Census in South Bend. She was buried in City Cemetery, South Bend, near a large Henrich-Crockett family memorial stone.]
