One of the saddest duties that we have been called upon to perform is the recording of the death of the bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Higgins, of Centre Village [Broome Co., NY].  Margaret, who had attained her eleventh year on December last, was an adopted daughter, but was loved and cherished in the home like an only child, and her pleasant smile and winning way had drawn about her a host of friends who are deeply grieved to learn of her sudden departure.  She was taken ill last week and on Saturday morning, Dr. A.O. Persons was called, and pronounced the disease peritonitis and appendicitis in the worst form.  Dr. Miller was hastily summoned with a nurse and an operation performed; but of no avail and the little patient only survived for a few hours and passed away to the better land at 4 o'clock Monday morning.  The deceased was a member of the Harpursville [Broome Co.,  NY] Baptist church and Sunday School and a devoted member of that denomination.  The funeral will be held from the home at 2 p.m., today (Thursday) and the remains will be taken to Hales Eddy [Delaware Co., NY] for interment.
