An Afflicted Home

The home of Mr. and Mrs. N. T. Smith has been darkened by a great sorrow; their little son Estes, a bright and handsome little boy of two years, six months and seven days, died last Sunday at 12:30 p.m. of pneumonia and inflammation of the kidneys, after an illness of nearly two weeks. Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Sumner T. Martin, after which the little body was taken to the cemetery in Palo Alto and laid to rest.

Another son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, little five-year-old Carl, has also been quite ill, but is now reported much better. The fullness measure of sympathy is accorded the bereaved parents in their affliction. ~ The Newton Record, Newton, IA, Friday, February 28, 1896, Page 1, Column 2
