BOYSTER, Delrenia Mae

February 8, 1937--Delrenia Mae Boyster, the five weeks old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Boyster, was found dead in bed this morning by her parents. The child had been suffering from a cold and had wakened her parents about 5 o'clock a.m. Mrs. Boyster took care of the child and went back to sleep. An hour and a half later they awakened and found their child dead. According to Coroner Sternberg the infant apparently died of pneumonia since there was no evidence of her having suffocated under the bed clothing. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Sternborg Funeral home with the Rev. F.W. Ortmeyer officiating. Burial in Oak Hill. The child is survived by her parents.
