Mr. and Mrs. Leonard H. Wilson were called upon Sunday morning to mourn the death of their little daughter, Freda Grace, aged 4 years, 7 months and 30 days. Her death was due to strangulation of the bowels and she was sick only a couple of days. She was a sweet and attractive little child and her death leaves a vacancy in the home that can never be filled. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of everyone in their deep bereavement.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church and six little girls, all dressed in snowy white, acted as pallbearers.

Among the relatives from away in attendance at the funeral were Mrs. Wilson’s mother, Mrs. Matilda Birch of Gifford, Iowa, her sister, Mrs. W.S. Lyness of Minneapolis, and her niece, Miss Nena Synder of Ackley, Iowa.
