Baby Son Dies
Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock for the little baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Zwicky, who died Saturday morning. The little one was born January 28, 1920, and the parents with two sisters and three brothers mourn the loss of the pet of the family.
The parents are German Swiss and came to America with two children, four being born to them here. As the parents are not yet able to use the English language well, the pastor, Rev. W. H. Blancke conducted the services mainly in their native tongue.
The parents used to live ten miles northeast of the city and a number of their former neighbors expressed their esteem and sympathy by their presence and tokens of flowers. The Zwicky home is on Twelfth Street and Fifth Avenue South.
The little body was laid to rest in the Newton cemetery.
