Boy Dropped Dead on Sidewalk.
New Hampton, April 14.—Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Matt. Colwell, residing a few miles east of New Hampton, took their 13-year-old son Ray to Lawler to receive medical treatment, having complained of a severe pain in his side for several days previous. Upon advice from the physician he was left in town to receive treatment, and the next day, while on his way down to the doctor’s office, he dropped dead on the sidewalk, his death being due to heart failure. The funeral will be held from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church at Lawler to-day.

Transcriber’s Note: There is a Raymond Colwell buried in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Cemetery who died in 1905 and born in 1891; however, his father was Patrick M. Colwell (perhaps his middle name was Matt).
