LOSE SECOND BOY

Death Again Invades the B. T. Holm Home

Randolph Manferd Holm died last Friday, and thus was released from all suffering. He was next to the oldest surviving son of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Holm, being ten years and six months old. He had been sick about a month from complications arising from an attack of scarlet fever, and during the last week had been in a comatose condition, beyond hope of recovery.

Funeral services were held on the lawn in front of the home on Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large number of sympathizing friends. Rev. Aasar, assisted by Rev. Smedal of Roland, conducted the services; both pastors spoke words of sympathy and hope at the home and at the cemetery.

This death coming so soon after the loss of the oldest son has enlisted the sympathy of the entire community in a more than ordinary degree, and all unite in invoking God's blessing over the stricken family.
