Bellevue, Ia. July 20--Last Friday about noon occurred the death of little Frankie Ruff, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. I. Ruff, in Duetell Hollow. The boy has been downtown on Monday and was taken sick the same night. Everything possible was done to save his life, but to no avail. The funeral was held from St. Joseph's church Saturday morning and was largely attended. The remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery among beautiful flowers.
