Infant Son of the
Clayton* Klemas's,
Died at McIntire

Clayton Klemas was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harley Klemas on December 22, 1935, at Mason City.

He was taken ill with whooping cough at the home of his great-grandparents, the R. L. Carters, at McIntire, and though everything possible was done, he succumbed to the disease April 7 at 3 o'clock a.m. at the age of 3 months and 16 days.

To mourn the loss, he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harley Klemas; two brothers, Roger Lee, 5, and Teddie Duane, 2. He was a darling child and his loss is greatly felt by all who knew him.

Funeral services were held at the R. L. Carter home in McIntire on the 8th of April, conducted by the Reverend F. M. Garrett, pastor of the Methodist church. A message of comfort in song was brought by Mrs. John Errington and Miss Lois Wheeler played the organ. Interment was made in the McIntrie Cemetery.
