Little Freda Tucker Called by Death

Death called Freda Tucker Thursday night, following complications from an attack
of quinsy.  While her death had been expected it was sorrowful.  She was an
orphan and had made her home with Mr. and Mrs. William Watkins.  She was 13
years, 8 months old. 

Some two years ago she was lost on the West Side for two nights and two days.
The whole countryside was aroused and scores of men searched the woods until she
was found. She was born in Castle Rock November 19, 1915. 

Her father died in 1919.  Four years later her mother died.  She has been
attending grade school here and was a member of the Christian Church Sunday
school.  Three sisters and a half-brother survive.  The sisters are Naomi,
Serena and Mrs. B. M. Passara of Cle Elum.  Albert Churchill is the brother.  
Funeral services were held in the Christian church by Rev. Crabb Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.  The burial was at Whittle cemetery.
