GRUVER--Willie Jesse Hundertmark, the only child of Henry and Ruby Hundertmark, was born June 13, 1919 and died February 18, 1920, aged eight months and five days. Although the best of care that loving hands and medical skill could give he passed away after an illness of ten days finally terminating in pneumonia. He went to join the baby brother who passed away two years before. He leaves a father and mother and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Short funeral services were held at the home Thursday afternoon at five o'clock. Prof. Tenney was in charge. The parents, accompanied by an aunt and uncle, left on the 6 P. M. train from Gridley, for Whitten, Iowa where funeral services will be held and the little one will be laid to rest in a cemetery near that place.

"Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave,
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band."
