Obituary Record Is Large and Heartbreaking
A lengthy obituary recounts a child's two year decline from spinal illness and blindness, noting her age at death, family survivors, and funeral details. The narrative shifts to other obituaries and local notices, then transitions to a travelogue describing Japan, the Mikado, and early impressions of Tokyo and Miyajima, ending with a note that the piece continues next week.
