Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Dunagan are called to mourn their first born son, Clarence Edwin, who passed away on April 30, 1923, following a ten days' illness of measles which developed into pneumonia.

Clarence was born in Plattsmouth, Neb., May 31, 1917, and died in Glenwood, April 30, 1923, aged 5 years and 11 months. He is mourned by his parents and a younger brother, Warren. Besides those of the immediate family his paternal grandmother and his maternal grandparents mourn with the parents.

Funeral services were held from the home on Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. G. T. Roberts of the Methodist church. Music for the services were furnished by Mr. and Mrs. James Sawyers, Mrs. Lillian Lewis and Fred Raine, all former neighbors.

There was present from a distance Mrs. C. T. Reynolds of Atchison, Kan., an aunt of Mrs. Dunagan.

How well does Hollard describe the scene when he says: "We laid the little fellow close by his grandfather; we strew his grave with flowers, and then return to our saddened home with hearts united in sorrow as they had never been united in joy, and with sympathies forever opened toward all who are called to a kindred grief."
