From the Emmetsburg Democrat [IA], Wed. Jan. 8, 1919:

Mr. and Mrs. John Meents Lose Son

Mr. and Mrs. John Meents, who live several miles northeast of Emmetsburg, mourn the death of their son, Theodore, aged eight years, who passed away Sunday afternoon. The funeral services will be held this afternoon. Services will be conducted at the M.E. church in Vernon township. Rev. Nielsen of this city will officiate. Mr. and Mrs. Meents have seven other sons and daughters. Theodore was a bright, promising boy and his death will be sincerely mourned not only by his parents, brothers, and sisters, but by all who knew him. The sincere sympathy of all is extended to the members of the family in their sorrow.

Note: I know nothing further of this family.
