Later in the same issue.
Died at Waco.
Miss Jesse Scarborough, a daughter of the Widow Scarborough, formerly of this section, who recently moved to Waco, died in that city last Thursday night, after an illness of several days.
Her remains were interred at the Chapel last Saturday in the preseace of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends.
The News joins in extending condolence to the bereaved family.
A cousin tells me that Jesse was 20 years old and male, the son of Henry and Susan Melson Scarborough. He died two days before his grandmother. I’m thinking there must be more than one Jess(i)e in the family.
