IWCP - 20 Martin 1939 - NEWPORT - A Sad Bereavement. - Sincere sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. A. Kilmartin, of 17 Albert-street, in the loss of their only child, Daphne Joy, aged 5, which occurred on Sunday, after a series of illnesses. The little girl was an exceedingly bright and lovable child, who had won the hearts of all who knew her, as was evidenced by the fact that there were over 60 floral tributes laid on her grave in Carisbrooke cemetery on Wednesday, following the funeral service at the Baptist Church, conducted by the Rev. E. G. Keed. [list of floral tributes not transcribed]
