Wesley, little son of John Alexander and wife, of Ira neighborhood, died last Tuesday; aged 5 years, 3 months and 6 days. The funeral was held Wednesday; Rev. Lampman conducting the services, and the interment was at the Union Chapel. The little one was a life-time sufferer from epilepsy, and while his parents feel that it is better that their dear one’s sufferings are ended, the pain of severing the tender cords of love the poor little hands had twined so firmly about their hearts is almost like taking their lives. They have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
