SLATER

Ole Thorson died at his mother's home in the southeast part of town at an early hour Tuesday morning and will be buried at the Cambridge cemetery on Thursday by the side of his father whose death occurred less than two months ago. Deceased reached an age of eighteen years and has been in failing health since last fall. Seven years ago he had the misfortune of being kicked by a horse which accident resulted in total blindness. Since then he has spent a large part of his time at the state institution at Vinton. He had to leave school on account of sickness and has been tenderly cared for by his loved ones at the parental home until the time came when he should be released from a life which had little of joys to him who was shut up in a world of total darkness.
