Death Calls Young Lad
The news of the death of Burdell Burnard Aldred, the little son
of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Aldred of this place, which occurred at
12:00 o'clock Sunday night at the Hand Hospital in Hartley,
rapidly spread over this community Monday morning, bringing with
it, as it were, a cloud of sorrow to all, for the little fellow
had become a general favorite to everyone who knew him.
While he had not been in good health for a month, yet he did not
become very sick until Tuesday of last week. His condition grew
worse fast from this time and he was taken to the Hand Hospital
Thursday, passing away three days later. The immediate cause of
his death was purpura hemorragica. His age was six years, eleven
months, and six days. Everything possible that loving hands and
skilled medical science could do, was done, but his unusual case
was a baffle to both.
Burdell was a bright little boy with a sunshiny disposition and
many of the other attributes found in happy childhood. He leaves
to mourn his untimely death, his grief stricken parents, two
brothers Gordan and Donald, one great grandfather and great
grandmother, three grandparents, besides many other relatives and
friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the home of his parents, in
Sutherland, by Rev. A. J. Quirin, of the Methodist church,
Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. Interment was made in
Waterman cemetery.
Just six short years, his days how few,
An Angel's morning visit
That came and vanished with the dew.
"Twas here - 'tis gone - where is it?
Gem of our hearth, our household pride,
Could love have saved
You would not have died
Yet, 'tis sweet balm to our despair,
Dear Burdell - fond, fairest boy,
The heaven is God's and thou art
There, past is death and all its woes;
There, life's sweet stream forever flows
And rapture's day no sunset knows.
Card of Thanks
We desire to express our sincere appreciation and thanks to the
many friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy shown
to us during the sickness and at the death of our dear little
son, Burdell, also for the beautiful floral offerings.
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Aldred and family and other relatives

Lester Carson, Charged With the Theft of Automobile, Is
Bound Over At Preliminary Hearing
The following account is taken from the Cherokee Times concerning
the action brought against the boys were apprehended by Chas. L.
Nott in Sutherland on Tuesday of last week with the Cadillac car
which they had stolen the night before at Cherokee. The boys were
held until the arrival of Sheriff Sangwin of Cherokee county who
arrested them here.
"For stealing a Cadillac car owned by Frank Nordstrom,
Lester Carson, aged 20, has been held to the grand jury on bond
in the sum of $1,000. Being unable to furnish the bond he is
confined in jail. Carson comes from a prominent family, but he
seems to have devoted too much attention to an effort to increase
the acreage of wild oats. Frequently his father had appealed to
Sheriff Sangwin to exercise restraint on the wayward boy but
there had been no proper occasion for official interference.
Henry Walrath, aged 18, arrested with Carson, according to the
stories related by both boys, is not equally guilty, and will be
taken before the judge on a minor charge."

Little Girl Claimed By Death
Edna May Draper, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. Franklin Draper,
was born in the Methodist parsonage at Somers, Iowa, on November
9th, 1912, and died at Langdon, Iowa, September 15th, 1921, aged
8 years, 10 months and 6 days. She had been sick a little over a
year of the dread disease, sarcoma. Everything that could be done
failed to check the disease. She suffered much, but bore it
patiently. At the last the suffering was less, and she slipped
away peacefully to be with Jesus, to await the resurrection morn.
"How blest the righteous when he dies!
When sinks a weary soul to rest.
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breast!"
She was a loving, gentle child, loved by all who knew her. She
early gave her heart to Jesus, and developed in a marked way
during her sickness. During special meetings at Langdon in June,
though she was suffering herself yet she was burdened in prayer
for her little playmates, and some older people as well. She
maintained a strong, simple faith till the last and was satisfied
to go and be with Jesus.
She leaves to mourn their loss in her departure, father and
mother, and two brothers, and numerous other relatives and
friends where she has lived. Funeral service was held in Langdon
M. E. church, Saturday, September 17th, in charge of Rev. H. E.
Hutchinson, District Superintendent of Sheldon District, assisted
by Rev. R. L. Steward and Rev. W. A. Wilkinson of Spirit Lake,
Rev. Edgar Hammerle of Fostoria, Rev. J. N. Carey of Dickens.
Several other ministers were present from nearby towns.
The body was shipped back to Sutherland last Saturday afternoon,
and interment was made in Waterman cemetery. Short services were
also held here at the grave in charge of Rev. A. A. Pittenger
assisted by Rev. A. J. Quirin, and the father, Rev. J. F. Draper.
