Death of Ira Ritz

Ira Ritz, the 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ritz of Selma, died Sunday afternoon at the St. Joseph hospital in Ottumwa, where he had been taken Saturday morning in an unconscious state. Friday noon the lad left school for his home, feeling ill, a physician was called and near 6 o'clock in the evening he became unconscious. His malady baffled the local physician, who called Dr. Nelson in Ottumwa for consultation. He was at once removed by ambulance to the hospital, where all medical aid and skill was given, but no avail. The cause of his death is unknown. Ira was the oldest in a family of eight children. All survived, besides the parents, and grandfather H.W. Ritz. They are Ruth, Allen, Lee, Esther, Philip, Rex and Inez. The funeral services will probably be Tuesday.
