Mr. and Mrs. George Van Wey are called to mourn the loss of their youngest child Ralph Russell, who died Saturday, Aug. 1st, after an illness of eight days from cholera infantum. At first his sickness was not thought to be serious, but Thursday night he went into convulsions and in spite of medical aid and loving care he gradually failed and passed away Saturday evening. He was born Sept. 29, 1905, making him two years, 10 months and three days old. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at four o’clock, interment in the village cemetery. The little white casket was covered with beautiful flowers, placed there by kind friends. Four boys acted as pall bearers and after he was lowered to his last resting place the children scattered flowers over him. The family have the sympathy of their many friends in their sad affliction.

Transcriber’s Note: He is buried in the Frankville Cemetery.
