REMAINS OF ALICE
GILLILAND BURIED
AT VENTURA MONDAY
______________

    VENTURA, July 22. -- The remains of little Alice Gilliland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Drew Gilliland of Moorpark, who died suddenly Saturday, were laid to rest this afternoon in Ventura cemnetery, following services conducted by Rev. Darnielle of Oxnard at St. Paul’s Episcopal church.
    There is a deep pathos in this little girl’s death. She was in health up to last Saturday morning, it is said, and early that day she fell ill of an attack, the physicians declared to be spinal meningitis. At five o’clock in the evening she had passed into rest as the result of the attack of the dread disease. Alice was aged three years and nine months.
    It is reported that the little girl’s mother, Mrs. Gilliland, is ill in a hospital at Oxnard.
