Little Fred Reiter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ubbie Reiter, Jr., died on Wednesday evening of last week at the home of his parents at about 8 o'clock, at the age of 1 year, 6 months and 28 days, following an illness of only eleven days.

Funeral services were held at Buck Grove Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The deceased was a very bright and loving child and will be missed greatly in the home, where he will be forever absent. He leaves to mourn his early death his father and mother, two sisters and many other relatives.

Those little lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed forever now.
Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright
Beneath that pearly brow,
The little heart that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloom
Are hidden now from those he loved
Beneath the silent tomb.
