The community was saddened to learn of the death on Sunday, September 17th, of little Edwin Agard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Agard, after a very brief illness of appendicitis. He was only five years old and a pretty and attractive child.

Appropriate funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Reverend Sands. Interment was in Glenwood cemetery.

Their many friends sympathize with them in this great bereavement. The Good Book says, “He can not come back to us but we can go to him."
