HELEN L. BARBEN

  Helen Louise Barben, the only child of John K. and Sara Simpson 
Barben, died at their home, 210 Mifflin street, on Saturday, Sept. 28, 
at 11.55 a.m. from the effects of bronchial whooping cough and 
teething.  The child had been seriously ill for about two weeks, during 
which time the parents did all that money and medical skill were able 
to accomplish, as a means of prolonging the life of their only child 
whom they dearly loved.  Helen was born on Jan. 18, 1918, and at the 
time of death was only eight months and ten days.  The funeral service 
was conducted at home on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock by the Rev. 
George S. Womer, pastor of the parents, with interment in Riverview 
cemetery.  To the bereaved parents, we extend our sincere sympathy in 
this their hour of sorrow, and trust they may find peace and comfort as 
they direct their thoughts to one who doeth all things well, and is 
capable of healing all wounds.
