Charles Robert, little son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Hornbaker was born May 9, 1908, and died July 19. Although always frail, the last few days had shown so much improvement that the family and friends were encouraged in the belief that the young life would be spared, and the sudden end came as a great shock to them.

Twice has the angel of death taken a little one from this home, leaving it desolate.

The funeral services were conducted Tuesday morning of last week by Rev. Clark, after which the little body was laid to rest in the Thompson cemetery.
