From Nevada Representative May 7, 1915 (page 8)

SOUTH NEW ALBANY

George Chester Swinbank, only child of John and Agnes Swinbank was born January 5, 1910 and passed away May 1, 1915, at the home of his parents near Chetek, Wisconsin where the family had moved but two months ago, from their old home neighborhood in South New Albany. Chester was a bright and most loveable child, the light and life of the home. His death was unexpected and tho he had been suffering with rheumatism was thought to be improving, when heart failure came suddenly. The parents and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community, whose hearts have been saddened by the little life's passing.

"Not in cruelty, not in wrath
The Reaper came that day.
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flower away."

The funeral services were held Tuesday at eleven o'clock at the M. E. church in Colo and the little body laid to rest in the Colo cemetery.
