MASTER BRUCE PRICE CALLED

Four-Year-Old Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Price Passed Away Wednesday at Mercy Hospital.

After staging a valiant battle to regain his health and steadily losing ground during the final stages of his illness, Master Bruce Price passed away at ten o’clock Wednesday morning in the Mercy hospital at Des Moines. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Price and observed his fourth birthday in September.

Bruce was taken ill with pneumonia on December 31. His condition became steadily more serious until Monday evening of this week, when on advice of specialists he was taken to the Des Moines hospital. Here it was revealed that nothing could be done to relieve his suffering and the little patient passed away a few hours later.

Funeral services for the deceased will be held at 2:30 Friday afternoon from the Presbyterian church. Burial will be in the cemetery here.
