DIED. - Ralph James Robb, youngest son of Wilson and Elmira Robb, was born August 7th, 1888, and departed this life April 20th, 1893, aged 4 years, 8 months and 13 days. He was baptized by Rev. A. S. Loveall. As young as he was, he loved the Sunday School and the church. He was very affectionate; he said as he was nearing the end, "Mama, you will not leave me, will you?" He has gone to be with Jesus, and baby sister that preceded him. The funeral was conducted at the home, by the pastor, and the remains laid to rest in the Newton Cemetery to await the resurrection of the dead. The family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. R. W. ~ The Newton Journal (Iowa), Wednesday, April 26, 1893
