ORRA OTIS JUNIOR, youngest child of O.O. and LENORA FLETCHER, was born February 3, l92l, and died after a brief illness, November 6, l922; aged l year, 6 months and 3 days. Besides the parents he leaves to mourn his early departure, four brothers, two sisters, one grandmother, a host of other relatives. Little JUNIOR was given to these parents to keep for so short a time, he was a bright ray of sunshine which flashed across our pathway for so short a time. But after a while when time has dried up their tears and healed their broken hearts, the memory of him so precious will bring them nearer to God.

Funeral services were held from the home of the parents at Van Wert, Wednesday, November 8, l922, conducted by the Minister of the Christian Church. Interment in Leon Cemetery.
