The death of Raymond Vlotho, the youngest son of Henry Vlotho, occurred at his home three miles southeast of town Tuesday morning. The young man was in his twentieth year and has never enjoyed good health. He had a severe sick spell last fall and was getting some better and able to be about. After rising Tuesday morning he was taken with convulsions and passed away without coming out of them. The funeral took place from St. John's Lutheran church Thursday and was very largely attended. Rev. Noeffer, pastor of the church, was in charge. Interment was made in the church cemetery.
