Death of Little Child

LeRoy William Salser, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Salser, was born June 29, 1912, and died at his home east of Sutherland Monday morning, January 15, 1917, aged 4 years, 6 months and 16 days. He was taken sick two weeks ago with a bad cold which developed into pneumonia, resulting in his death. He was a bright and happy little fellow. His death has cast a gloom, not only over his grief-stricken parents, but also his grandparents, uncles and aunts as well, for it is, as a fond mother has said, it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can throw.

The funeral was held at the Sacred Heart church Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock, the service being conducted by Rev. Father Loefelholz. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery.
