The six-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Easter of Douglas township died last Saturday morning. The child was apparently as well as usual but on returning to bed after a few moments absence, Mrs. Easter found her baby dead. It is a sad blow to find her little one cut off without warning.

Note: Buried in the Stringtown cemetery.

The funeral was held at the home on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Smith officiating.

The interment took place at the Stringtown cemetery. To the bereaved parents and brothers and sisters we extend our sincere sympathy in this their sad and sudden bereavement.
