Obituary

Schmidt

Sad indeed is the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hugo Schmidt. For weeks their bright little son, Robert, aged two years and four months, has been hovering between life and death. At times the hearts of the fond parents would fill with hope, only to be cast down again. Friday afternoon the expected but dreaded summons came and the spirit of the bright little one fld, leaving on the the lifeless clay before the sorrow stricken parents. The funeral will take place Sunday, May 25, at 3 p.m. from the family residence, 1512 West Third street.
