Death Claims Bright Little Boy
Relatives here were notified by telephone late Monday night of the death of James J., three-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dunlevy, of Chicago, which took place in a hospital there following a ten days’ illness with pneumonia. The child had been twice operated to relieve lung congestion, but medical skill and loving care were all to no avail.

The remains, accompanied by the grief stricken parents, Dr. G. R. Dunlevy, Miss Kathryn Casey and grandmother, Mrs. Con Casey, arrived from Chicago this (Wednesday) morning and the funeral will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at 9:00 A. M. Following an Angel Mass, read by Msgr. Haxmeier, interment will be made in the Dunlevy family lot in Gethsemane cemetery.

“Jimmy” was a wonderfully bright child, and had endeared himself to many friends during his visits to this city. The idol of his parents, his death at so early an age seems doubly hard to bear; but God in His infinite wisdom knows best and they have consolation of knowing their darling is now with the beloved of the Lord in heaven.

Words of sympathy at such a time are futile, and only those parents who have been through a like bereavement can fully realize their grief; but Joe and Ethel’s many old time Lansing friends will doubtless do all they can to assuage their sorrow.

Mrs. Con Casey was a passenger for Chicago last Wednesday, where her grandchildren, Jimmie and Mary Jo Dunlevy, are both pneumonia victims and patients at Children’s Memorial hospital. The little boy had to submit to an operation for lung drainage, as well as oxygen tank treatment, but all to no avail; death taking place late Monday night as will be seen elsewhere. The baby girl is slowly recovering at this writing.
