Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel
Monday, December 13, 1897
Le Mars, Iowa

Death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Loren Neilsen on Saturday, taking their
little son, Bertie, aged 2 years and three
months. The little fellow had been sick
for a week with pneumonia and the best
of care failed to thwart the disease.

The funeral was held this afternoon
from the home on Hubbard street, Rev.
Chas. Braithwaite, of the Baptist church,
conducting the service.
