Story City Herald:

SUDDEN DEATH.--The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wellington died very suddenly last Saturday night. The child had evidently not been feeling very well for a day or two previous to its death, but the parent supposing nothing serious as being the matter retired with it at the usual hour, but when they arose in the morning they discovered to their profound sorrow that the child was dead.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: "J. A. Wellington," Willie's father, was James Albert Wellington. He was the brother of Charlotte (Wellington) Wier of Story City, Iowa. Willie Wellington was buried in the Sheffield Cemetery, Story County, Iowa.
