Death of Infant

John Charles Eugene, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. G. Walker, was born on Monday, January 19th, 1925, and after a brief stay departed from this life on Thursday, Jan. 22nd. An affectation of the heart with which the little one suffered from birth was the cause.

Those attending the funeral, which was held from the home on Saturday afternoon were Mrs. E. G. Bossman, of Lennox, So. Dak., and Mrs. Walter Bent, Worthing, Co. Dak., both sisters of Mrs. Chas. G. Walker.

"I wonder, Oh, I wonder where the

little faces go,
That come and smile and stay awhile,

And pass like flakes of snow--
The dear wee baby faces that the

world has never known,
But mothers hide so tender-eyed, deep

in their hearts alone.

"I love to think that somewhere, in

the country we call heaven,
The land most fair of everywhere will

unto them be given.
A land of little faces--very little--

very fair--
And everyone shall know her own and

cleave unto it there."
