MARY HOWERSON TRAPP=It is with deep sorrow and regret and sincere feelings of sympathy to the fond and agonized parents that we record the sad death of the sweet little daughter of Mr.& Mrs.S.B.Trapp, Jr., who died yesterday morning, Jan.13,1910, after an illness of several weeks with bronchial pneumonia. Mary Howerson Trapp was born Jul.7,1906. She was a beautiful child, had a wonderful dispostion, and entwined herself about the hearts of her fond parents, other relatives and all who knew her, and was all but idolized. She had been ill for several weeks, but on Monday or Tuesday we met Mr.Trapp, and he seemed to think the baby girl was improving and much better. We were consequently very much shocked yesterday to learn of her death, which occurred about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The precious remains were laid to rest in the Forrest City cemetery, Rev.Boone L.Wilford , of the Methodist church, conducting the religious ceremonies, and the last sad rites over the beautiful child's remains.
The stone has her birth as 4 Aug 1906 and the Newspaper article has her
birth as 7 Jul 1906
