Lillie Bechdolt, the 8 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bechdolt of West Arch
Street, died at 11 o’clock last night.
She was not taken sick until shortly before noon, but from that time until her death sank
rapidly. It was a first thought she might have accidentally got hold of poison but a
postmortem quickly dispelled that theory. Lillie had an attack of typhoid fever three
years ago which left her heart in a weakened condition and eventually caused her
death.
The funeral will take place at 1 o’clock tomorrow and interment at the Flesher
Cemetery.
