Harvey Ramsey, aged about four years, died Wednesday night and was buried Thursday. He has been a great sufferer for several months from a burn received on the back while living at Moss' mill west of town last winter. Cold and other unavoidable causes did not allow the sore to heal as rapidly as it should and for months he suffered terribly, but bore it all meekly and patiently. He was a bright, smart child, and the father has the sympathy of all in his sad affliction.
