For the past two and one half years his parents, with the boys, have made their home in Lenox. When Robert was about three weeks of age he was christened in St. John’s Lutheran church at Victor, Iowa, and was an active member of Lenox Troop 104, Boy Scouts of America.

Nearly every Sunday he was in attendance at the Methodist Sunday school and divine worship.

He leaves to mourn his passing, his parents and three brothers, Jack, and the twins, Lary and Gary, of whom he was very fond; his paternal grandmother, his maternal grandparents, Mrs. and Mrs. James Connor of Mechanicsville, Ia., several uncles and aunts and cousins. One sister, Betty Lou, preceded him in death in 1923.
