Mr. and Mrs. B.J. Aurie were bereft of their little seven months old baby boy Wednesday April second, due to an attack of measles and other complications. Funeral occurred at the Catholic church Friday of last week, conducted by the pastor, Rev. John O'Reilly. The little form was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery south of town. "Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death with friendly care, The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there." The parents keenly feel the loss they have sustained, but have the sympathy of friends in their sore bereavement.
