Death of Little Harold McGrath
Mr. and Mrs. Earl McGrath are mourning the death of their little boy Harold, who died very suddenly Monday evening. The little fellow had been in his usual good health up to Sunday night when the first ailment of any kind appeared. He died following a series of convulsions, though everything possible was done to save the little life. Harold was nearly two years old and was an exceptionally bright child. The sudden and unexpected death is a severe shock to the parents and entire family and calls for the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

Funeral services were held today at 2:00 p. m. from the Methodist church and the little form was tenderly laid to rest in Rosehill cemetery.
