Mr. and Mrs. Halver Myren are called to mourn the loss of their son Hartley, who passed away on Saturday afternoon at 5:30 at Decorah hospital. He was born April 9, 1927, and was nearly one year old. The little one was taken ill about the middle of December when pneumonia developed, from which he never fully recovered. Three weeks ago he suffered another attack and everything that medical skill or loving hands could do proved of no avail and the little spirit winged its flight back to God who gave it. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved ones. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at the Lutheran church conducted by Rev. Koren.
