The two little children of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Cole died within the past week at their home in Cedar Rapids. They were ill with diphtheria. The oldest one, Alvin, was five years of age and the younger, Alice but two. Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Cole and daughter Edith, of Elma, were present. The sudden wiping out of their little family is indeed a sad blow to Mr. and Mrs. Cole and the sympathy of all go out to them in their hours of mourning and loneliness. At such a time words are powerless to ease the heartache and sense of loss.—Elma New Era.
