The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Schoonmaker in the loss of their youngest son, and second child inside of five weeks. Little Elmer Schoonmaker was born Feb. 27, 1891, died March 3, 1899. It was thought that he was growing better until last Thursday he grew worse and kept growing so until Friday evening at 9 o’clock, when the shadow of death crept near his bedside and the hands of beautiful angles{sic} carried the dear one to the Father above where all is joy, peace and love. The funeral services were held at the Centennial church last Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Parkin, of Calmar.
