Twin Baby Succumbs to Erysipelas
Randy Rae Marr, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Marr, died at 10:15 a.m. yesterday at his home, 1321 Third avenue south. He died of erysipelas, an acute disease associated with a high fever and a local intense reddish inflammation of the skin.

His twin sister, two-month-old Rhonda Renae, was taken to Holy Family hospital yesterday for observation, but her physician stated today that she appears to be unaffected.

Barton of Colorado and now visiting in Estherville; and uncles and aunts, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Lennox of Gaylord, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. Lester Kris of Estherville, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Spoo of Estherville, Mr. and Mrs. Einer Johnson of Estherville, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mahan of Estherville and Kenneth Natress of Milford.
