Blanch Lowe, 13, Ill Since Christmas, Has Died, Feb. 25, 1925

Blanch, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Lowe

Miss Blanch Lowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Lowe, died Monday night at 10:25 at their home in Wilkesboro, at the age of 13 years. She had been sick since Christmas, first complaining with rheumatism, which afterwards affected her heart, but for the past week or so was improving. Sunday her condition became worse, caused by cold or influenza, and from which time grew worse until the end. Blanch is survived by her parents and eight brothers and sisters: Codie, James, Bulah, Ulah, David, Elmer, Arthur and Connie.

The funeral and burial will be held today (Wednesday) at the Baptist church, Moravian Falls, conducted by her pastor, Rev. J.L. Shinn.

Miss Blanch was a high school student in the Wilkesboro school up until Christmas, and will be sadly missed by her class mates, school friends and teachers.
