Harold Roger Brown was born at Quincy, Ill., Nov. 26th, 1915, and died at Bonaparte, Iowa, May 20k 1917. Had he lived til the following Saturday, May 26th, he would have been eighteen months old.

Little Harold had been sick with whooping cough for about ten days when bronchial-pneumonia set in which caused his sudden death. Every possible means to save his life was used but all seemed to be of no avail. The Great Physician who has called this young life to his eternal abode knew best how to heal the ills of this world.

Harold leaves to mourn their loss, a broken hearted mother, a father, two sisters and a baby brother, Mrs. Clarence Shearer of Keokuk, Iowa, and Mable, his 7 year old sister.
