telling him of the death of his son, Eugene Earnest, who is employed in

cold for a few days and pneumonia developed and he rapidly grew worse, dying
unexpectedly.

The body accompanied by his wife and relatives living in Washington is
expected to arrive in LeMars today. He is survived by his wife and two
children.

Eugene Earnest was born November 29, 1908, at Alton, and came with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Earnest to LeMars where he grew up and educated
in the public schools and graduated with the Class of 1927. After leaving
school he was employed at various occupations. He left LeMars about three
years ago for Washington and was employed with a wholesale firm as
bookkeeper. While living in LeMars he was married to Miss Orella Qualley of
Sioux City.

Besides his wife and children his death is mourned by his parents, his
brother Harold and his sister, Mrs. Perley Morse of Washington D.C., and a
