OBITUARY ~ RAYMOND LEROY MERCER

Raymond LeRoy, son of Mr. and Mrs. E[rvin]. B. MERCER of Conway, Ia., was born June 29, 1921, and died May 27, 1927, aged 5 years, 10 months and 28 days. He had been a sufferer for some time. All was done for him that could be done, but to no avail, so death came as a relief to his suffering little body. He leaves to mourn his departure, his father and mother, one sister, Catherine Minnie, and one brother, Ray Wilbur, besides many other relatives and friends.

Funeral services were conducted May 28, 1927, at the Athelstan Baptist church, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at the same place. The services were conducted by Challie E. GRAHAM.
