ONE OF SELMA TRIPLETS IS DEAD

Alfred Ray, one of the triplets born to Mr. and Mrs. Charley Puffenbarger, of near Selma, April 5, 1920, died Sunday, Nov. 7, 1920, after a brief illness of pneumonia, aged 7 months and 2 days. His brothers and sisters who survive are Albert Gray, Alice May, Robert, Van, and Marjorie. Sorrowful are the parents to give up one of the little group of three. The circle is now broken by the going away of little Alfred. The community has felt an interest in the growth and welfare of the triplets since their birth, and extend sympathy to the relatives.

The little body was tenderly laid to rest Monday in the Passmore cemetery, by the side of four little graves, brothers and sisters who have gone before.
