The three and a half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Rossum residing six miles west of [Hudson] in Norway township, died Saturday and the remains were laid to rest in the Norway cemetery on Monday. The little fellow was taken down with the croup and succumbed to the disease after a very short illness. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents.
