John Redling Dies Suddenly

Almost without warning John Redling, the eighteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Redling, living southwest of Jewell, passed away at 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, May 23rd. Only last Wednesday John was in town, apparently well as ever. That evening he was taken sick, and it had been decided to take him to Webster City Tuesday noon to operate upon him as he seemed to be suffering from some affection [sic] of the stomach. His death came suddenly however before he could be taken away for the operation.

The funeral services will be conducted Friday, from the home at one o'clock and also from Bethesda Lutheran church, and his body will be laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery.

John Redling was born in Chicago, December 2, 1892, and at the age of 18 years, 5 months, and 21 days, was just in the prime of early young manhood when his untimely death occurred. He had lived with his parents in this vicinity about seven years, and has hosts of friends in the community who will sincerely regret his departure and who will join the Record in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved parents.
