Prentice Marion Trautwein was born Sept. 9, 1896, near Macksburg, Iowa, and died at the home of his mother in that city December 24, 1915. He was 19 years, 3 months and 15 days of age at the time of his death. His sickness was of but a few days duration, but was serious from the beginning.

He leaves to mourn the loss, one sister, Mrs. Guy Wallace of Macksburg; one brother, Ed Trautwein of Montana; and his mother, Mrs. John Waltman, also of Macksburg; and a host of friends and relatives.

He was converted at the Parvin meetings a little over a year ago and remained true to the experience there obtained.

The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and were largely attended. The sermon was preached by Rev. Fred Whitney, pastor of the church. Interment was at the Macksburg cemetery.
