YOUNG MAN DEAD.
Orel Edward Platt, Formerly of This City, Died at Estherville. Funeral in Algona Today.

The remains of Orel E. Platt, a young man nineteen years of age, arrived in Algona yesterday from Estherville, where he died on Sunday, after an illness with pneumonia. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Platt, former residents of Algona.

Orel Edward Platt was born in this county July 14, 1899. When five years of age his parents moved to Rigu, N.D., where he lived until last September, when they moved to Estherville. Everything that loving hands could do did not save him, as God saw fit to take him from us. He was a popular young man, with many friends. He leaves, besides his parents, three sisters and one brother. Funeral services will be held today, at 2 p.m., at Riverview Chapel, Rev. Todd, officiating.
