Very Sad Death Of Miss Cross

A WELL KNOWN AND POPULAR LOCAL MUSICIAN.

She Dies After a Very Brief Illness of Pneumonia and Membranerus Croup.

Miss Bessie V. Cross died suddenly Sunday night at 8 o'clock at her rooms, 403 S. Fifth avenue, of membranous croup and pneumonia after an illness of less than a week. Her parents, who live at Otsego, Mich., were telegraphed for, but could not reach here until Monday morning. She was 22 years of age. Miss Cross graduated in the piano department of the School of Music last June. During the past summer she was organist in the Baptist church. This fall she has been singing in the choir of St. Thomas church and was an organ pupil of Prof. Renwick. She was also teaching a number of pupils. She had many lovable traits of character, which were most appreciated by all who knew her. Her death was a peculiarly sad one and news of it will be a great shock to her friends.
