Ted, the ten-year-old son of B. Fenton, died at the home of his parents in this place yesterday, Wednesday at 11:45 a.m. He was taken with a violent pain in the stomach on last Thursday evening and continued to grow worse steadily. The doctors think that some foreign substance had found a lodgment in the intestines and on Monday a surgical operation was performed in the hopes of saving his life, but he song under operation and it could not be completed. He gradually grew worse until the end came. Ted was a bright, manly boy and his loss will darken the home of his parents. The funeral will take place from the family residence at 2:00 p.m. today.
