Robert Tweedy victim of Influenza

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tweedy of this city mourn the death of their only son, Robert, who passed away at his home in Albert Lea Thursday afternoon of Spanish influenza, after an illness of only a few days.

Deceased was an insurance adjuster and had been in northern Minnesota settling the losses of the great forest fires and while there contracted the influenza, which soon developed into pneumonia.

He was a splendid young man and with a bright future before him.

The funeral was held Saturday and was very largely attended. Besides the parents a wife and four children are left to mourn his untimely death.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tweedy have the heartfelt sympathy of their many Estherville friends in this their hour of deepest affliction.
