Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Duke of Woodburn, mourn the death of their little son, their only child, Roscoe, who died about 12 o'clock Sunday night at the tender age of two years, three months, and five days. He was a beautiful child, bright and interesting, and the bereaved parents loved him dearly. In their bereavement they have the heartfelt sympathy of earnest friends and the consolation of the comforting words of the Savior: Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for as such is the kingdom of Heaven."
