Death separated twin boys born Saturday to Mr. and Mrs. Marion Van Roekel at the Community hospital at Sioux Center. One baby, Thomas, died about five hours after it was born. The other is getting along well, however.

Grave side rites for the deceased infant were held Monday at the Maurice Cemetery, with Reverend Van Deelen of Rock Valley officiating. Vander Ploeg’s Funeral Home was in charge. Mr. and Mrs. Van Roekel live on a farm near Hudson South Dakota, and she is the former Evelyn Berkenpas of Sioux Center.
