JACOB SACK
Master Jake Sack, the bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. Ike
Sack, who a few days ago fell from the roof of a small building and broke his arm, is doing well.
Jake has borne his sufferings like a little man, and is now going to
school, carrying his right arm in a sling, but keeping up with his studies just
the same.

A Sad Death
After an illness of
a few days with appendicitis Master Jacob H. Sack, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Sack, breathed his last at 9:30 o’clock Wednesday evening, September 13th.
But a few hours
before the final summons came, the bright boy had called
for the illustrated sheets of the newspapers and enjoyed them for a time. Late in the afternoon, however, the change
for the worse came and at 9:30, the bright active, hopeful youth of a few days
before was pronounced dead.
The deceased was
one of the most energetic and reliable boys of the city of Greenville. He was a good student at the school and when
vacation days arrived he always kept busy doing something. He was apparently destined for an active
business career, but the Grim Reaper arrived and claimed the promising boy as
his own.
For the devoted
mother who has so tenderly nursed and guided the footsteps of her boy since his
birth and watched with such an anxious heart at his bedside since his last
attack of illness, our heart bleeds; to the kind and indulgent father, and the
brothers and sister we extend our deepest feelings of sympathy. At 4:30 this afternoon the remains were
interred in the Jewish cemetery; the funeral from the residence at 403
Central Avenue.

A Card of Thanks
We take this method
of extending our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the kind people of the city
for many kindnesses shown during the last illness of our son, Jacob, and
especially to the ladies who were so thoughtful in arranging every detail for
the funeral and so considerate in every way.
Gratefully,
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Sack
