ORVAL EDGAR, the infant son of MR. LEE MARVIN, died at the home of his grandparents, MR. and MRS. J.M. MARVIN in this city, Monday morning at 7:30, aged five months and three days. The little fellow was bereft of a mother's care soon after he was born, and although kind hands have done everything in human power for his welfare, the little fellow has from birth been exceedingly feeble. The bereaved father who has lost both wife and son within a few short weeks, has the deep sympathy of everyone in his bereavement.

Funeral services were held at the MARVIN residence Tuesday morning at l0:30, services being conducted by Elder H.H. Hubbell, Pastor of the Christian Church, and the frail little body laid in its last resting place by the side of his mother in the Leon Cemetery.
