Died

Robert. J. son of Mrs. Glass died Sunday morning of brain fever. He was sick only three days and so intense was the attack from the first that but little hope was entertained of his recovery.

He was aged 11 years, 7 months and 12 days, the youngest of the family. He was a regular attendant at Sunday School and was a member of the Junior League.

The funeral took place from the Methodist Episcopalian Church Monday, conducted by Rev. Lambert, assisted by Rev McClure.

A detachment from Wisner Post was present as was also Miss Shockley and her pupils, she being his teacher.

A large crowd was present. His classmates at school contributed some beautiful floral offerings. the bereaved family have the sympathy of all our people in the great sorrow that has come to their home.

They desire to thank all for the kindness extended during the illness of the dear boy and also do they desire to thank the children for the many floral tributes.
