The deceased has been suffering with diabetis for two years and had been under expert treatment for about a year. About eight weeks ago quick consumption took hold of him and he suffered from that time until death relieved him. The deceased was an exceedingly bright boy and a host of friends sympathize with the father and his brother and two sisters. The remains were laid to rest in the Schafer church cemetery beside his mother last Saturday, the services being conducted by Rev. Schafer. The deceased was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church.
