Death Takes Pt. Reyes Girl

The death last Sunday in Point Reyes of Miss Edwyna Scilacci, the beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Scilacci, has cast a pall of sadness over the district in which she has been known and loved all of her short life of 19 years.

A patient sufferer from tuberculosis for many months, she had borne her sorrow with a fortitude that endeared her the more, if that were possible, to her scores of friends.

The funeral, held Tuesday from the residence, was attended by a great gathering of sorrowing friends and relatives, who then accompanied the cortege to the Olema Catholic Church, where a requiem mass was celebrated. The arrangements were under the direction of Dr. F. E. Sawyer.

She is survived by her bereaved parents and two brothers, Wilford J. and George B. Scilacci.
