DOUBLE FUNERAL FOR FRESHWATERS HELD TOMORROW

There will be a double funeral and two new graves on the FRESHWATER lot tomorrow. This will be because little 17 months old Mabel May FRESHWATER died this morning of infantile paralysis in Ottumwa, just 24 hours after the despondent father had ended his own life.

The funeral of Newton FRESHWATER has been postponed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning when that of the little daughter will also be held.
