Death Visits Home Twice in Two Weeks
Albert Bell

For the second time within two weeks the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Bell of Metz is plunged into deep mourning.

Little Albert Henry Bell, aged five, succumbed to cholera infantum, yesterday morning after a struggle of three weeks against the dread disease. This bright little lad was the pride of the family and a universally favorite with his playmates. The blow to his parents is a heavy one for only two weeks ago the daughter Eva was buried.

The funeral for this tiny boy was held today at the Metz church. The Rev. Moore of Reasnor conducting the services. Interment was made in the Metz cemetery. ~ The Newton Daily News, Newton, IA, October 29, 1919
