The fifteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith passed away Sunday morning at four o'clock from a heart attack.

Vernon was a sophomore in High School and was loved by everyone that knew him. Funeral arrangements are being made and will take place Tuesday and burial will be in the Armstrong cemetery where his brother, Harold, was buried two years ago. He leaves to mourn his untimely death, his father and mother, two brothers, Verl and Maurice, and sister, Bernadine, together with the entire community.
