VERONIKA STEMPLE

Veronika, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stemple, died at Albany hospital Wednesday morning, following an illness of only a few days.

Her death was a great shock to her family and friends, as she had attended school on Friday in apparently good health. To see one pass on so young is always saddening to any community, particularly so in this case, as the mother was in the hospital about to undergo a serious operation, not even able to attend the funeral of the daughter to whom she was so devoted. Death, was due to rheumatism of the heart, following an attack of scarlet fever, from which she was thought to have fully recovered.

Veronika had just passed her fourteenth birthday, and was a very bright and attractive girl, an honor pupil at Berne-Knox school, where she was in the first year high school and popular with teachers and pupils. She was on the girls' basketball team the past season and considered a promising player.

Two of the school busses conveyed the pupils and teachers from the school to St. Lucy's church at Altamont, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Neville.

The sympathy of the community is extended to the family in the home —the father and two brothers, John, and little Rudy, who will sadly miss the love and care of the elder sister, and the mother who is in a serious condition in the hospital, following an operation for the removal of a goitre, which threatened her life.

Seldom has the town of Berne known such a tragic week as the one just passed. Following close upon the report of the death of the Stemple child came the news of the very sudden death of Carrie Pitcher, who was well-known throughout the town where her life was spent, having for many years, nursed in homes in all parts of the town—wherever there was sickness. Two other deaths within the week were, Fred Shufelt, long a resident of the town and William Carl who lived at South Berne for many years.

Truly and forcibly are we reminded that "man's days are as grass' and while the sympathy of the community goes out to these families, it is well to remember that we "know not the hour" of our own passing and ask ourselves—"are we ready for the greatest adventure and what lies beyond."
