MASTER LYMAN WAYNE MIDDLETON DEAD.

Little Lyman Wayne Middleton, 13 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Middleton died last Friday morning about six o’clock. He had been ill but a few days, the trouble being diagnosed as Cholera Infantum. All that medical skill could suggest was done for the little fellow but he was not strong enough to withstand the convulsions to which a victim of this ailment is subject.

The funeral services were held at the home at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, with Rev. Father Nolan in charge of the service. At this service Mrs. Ed Thebiay sang a solo, Mrs. B. E. Corliss rendered a piano solo, and there was singing by a quartet, Messrs. Focht and Wetter, and Mrs. Thebiay and Mrs. Frank Hall. The pall bearers were Lee Middleton, Leonard Ramer, Raymond Walters, and John Mulligan. The burial was in Rose Hill cemetery. The sorrowing parents and relatives have the sympathy of the entire city and surrounding country in their great affliction.
