The community mourns with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Helms over the sad and sudden death of Chester, the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Helm, who passed away last Saturday night. The little boy was sick only about eighteen hours with cholera infantum, and his sudden taking away is a severe shock to the parents and children. Chester was the youngest of four boys and is also survived by a younger sister. He was a bright, active youngster and the fact that he was out among his play-fellows only a few short hours before his death makes his demise almost beyond comprehension. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, services being conducted at Christ Lutheran church, by Rev. J.P. Guenther.
