The home of Mrs. Lena Irwin was again saddened last Friday morning when the Angel of Death entered and carried away the beautiful eight months old baby which gladdened the life of the bereaved mother and children.

Little Leo Christopher was born March 20th, 1923, and with his sisters and brothers passed safely through a siege of whooping cough and was apparently well and strong for his age, the comfort and delight of the family when he was seized with pneumonia and despite the care of willing hands and loving hearts his beautiful soul went forth to be with his Creator.

Little Leo was an unusually bright and lovable child and will be sadly missed in the little home and by the grandparents on both sides who idolized him.

Mrs. Irwin and family have the sympathy of the entire community. The have also the consolation of knowing that the little flower that blossomed on Earth and shed the perfume of its sweet little life upon them for even so short a time is now blooming in all its beauty in Heaven.
