Boyster Child Dies of Suffocation in Bed Last Sunday
Arline Faye Boyster, two months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Boyster, died of suffocation while sleeping in bed last Sunday morning.

Her death was discovered by her mother with whom the child was sleeping, at about 7 a.m. The coroner reported that the child had perspired heavily before death, although the mother stated she did not think it was too warm.

The doctor in charge stated that the child was born with a weak heart, and that this condition evidently was a contributing factor in her death.

Funeral services were held at the Sternborg funeral home Tuesday at 2 p.m., Rev. F. W. Ortmeyer officiating. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, April 21, 1938)
