A great sorrow has come to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Miller, who live north of Gruver, in the death of their little son Embree, aged about four years. Mrs. Miller had just returned Friday evening from Cherokee with the little boy, who seemed quite well. Although he did not rest well Thursday night, he talked some on the way out from Estherville Friday evening. Just as they drove into the yard he went into spasms and never fully recovered, and died in a short time. Dr. Keabler of Dolliver was summoned and pronounced it spinal meningitis. A short funeral service was held Saturday by Rev. Harwood, after which Mr. and Mrs. Miller took the remains back to Cherokee for burial. They have the sincere sympathy of many friends here in their sad bereavement.

Gone to a world of flowers and song.
Gone to live with the heavenly throng.
Gone where no traveler e're returns.
Gone for ay'e and our hearts do yearn.

But we can meet Embree beside the river.
He'll be in the care of hid blessed Savior.
We'll not tarry long ere we shall cross over.
Where there'll be no sadness or sorrow
Where there's no night and no tomorrow.
Where there'll be flowers and smiles and song.
Where we'll all meet in the heavenly home.
