Eldon Onno Neihaus

Mr. and Mrs. D. K. Neihaus were called upon to mourn the death of their little son, Eldon, who passed away last Friday, after an illness of three or four days, suffering an attack of St. Vitus Dance. The funeral services were held from the German Presbyterian church Monday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Sinning, and were attended by a very large number of sympathizing relatives and friends of the family.

Eldon Enno Neihaus was born October 1, 1915, and died November 14, 1919, aged four years, one month and fourteen days. Eldon was a bright little fellow, the sunshine of the home but it was not his to remain long here below, for God plucked the little flower to plant it in His beautiful garden. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all in the loss of their child.
