CHILD DIES.
Remsen Bell-Enterprise: Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Nilles and children mourn the
loss of their five months old son and brother, Leroy Hubert, who passed away
at the family home south of town last Sunday morning at 7:30 o’clock.

The child had been sick for about five weeks, having been taken down with a
bad cold which developed into pneumonia. Leroy was born on June 9, of this
year. The little one is survived, besides the parents, by one brother and
three sisters.

The funeral was held Tuesday morning with services at St. Mary’s church at
9:30, conducted by Rev. F. X. Schulte. The body was carried to its final
resting place by four little boys: Edmond Thill, George Funfsinn, Lawrence
Rolling and Valerious Frank, while Elmer Offermann, Hubert Nothem and Roman
Shea acted as flower bearers.
