TWO RIVERSIDE YOUNG MEN DIE
Riverside, Iowa, Oct. 18.--The grim reaper called another young man of this vicinity to his eternal reward Sunday afternoon, October 13.

Yaro Wingler, who has been ill with pneumonia the past few days, succumbed to the inevitable at his home a mile and a half southwest of town.

Deceased was born near Riverside, and has spent all of his life in this locality. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wingler, the latter of whom passed away over ten years ago.

On Sept. 20, 1914, he was united in marriage to Miss Hilda Schnoebelen, who mourns the loss of a loving husband.

Besides his sorrowing widow, he is survived by his father, Joseph Wingler, a brother Edward Wingler and two half-sisters, all of this place. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from his last home.

Another Riverside home was saddened the past week, when the news came of the death of Charles Walton at Camp Travers, San Antonio, Texas.

This young man has been in poor health for some time, and finally fell a victim to pneumonia, passing away on Wednesday, October 9.

His remains were brought to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rl Walton, arriving here Saturday evening, under the escort of Sergeant Burke. The funeral was held on the home with services at Champion. Sunday morning at 9 o'clock from Hill, conducted by Rev. R. Collier. Interment was made at Champion Hill cemetery.
