DIED IN DAKOTA.
PLANKINTON, S.D., March 29, ’95.
Death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Snowden, Tuesday the 26th inst
at 7 o’clock a.m. taking Eugene Justin, their beloved son. He had been
suffering with heart disease and rheumatism since November last. He was ten
years and ten months old and had been so patient all through his sickness.
Many friends and neighbors met at the house on Thursday the 28th at 10
o’clock and followed the remains to the M. E. church in Plankinton where the
Rev. O. Williams preached the funeral sermon. The text so fittingly chosen
was from Second Samuel 12:23. His words were full of comfort and
encouragement to the bereaved family. A large procession followed the
remains to the cemetery where the impressive burial service was read. Many
beautiful wreaths and flowers were sent as loving tributes. The family have
the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad loss.
