Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Iles are mourning the loss of their infant son who died Saturday evening, aged two months and ten days. Their many friends extend sympathy to the bereaved parents in their hour of sorrow.

Card of Thanks.
We hereby express our most heartfelt thanks to the good neighbor women and other friends who have been so kind during the recent illness and death of our dear little boy, whom God, in his infinite wisdom, saw fit to remove from us. We can never forget the good friends in their willingness to help us in our sorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. S. Iles

Engraved on north side of Charles and Viola's stone:

"Our darling Sadie, died 17 Feb 1891, aged 22 days and Charles S. Jr., died 20 Feb 1897, aged 2 months, 10 days."

"God gave, He took, He will restore. He doeth all things well."
