Johnstone last Friday came as a shock to the entire neighborhood. Death was caused by pneumonia. Fred had only recently returned from Camp Lewis, Washington, where he had gone in hopes of becoming one of Uncle Sam’s soldiers, but failed to pass the examination because of trouble with his heart. Last winter while visiting in the east he suffered an attack of pneumonia which left him in a weakened condition and unable to resist the attack of Spanish influenza, which rapidly developed in to pneumonia. He had grown to manhood in our neighborhood, having come from Rapid City, S. D., with his mother, brothers and sisters some ten years ago. He has attended our school, Sunday school and all social activities and is the first of our young people to be called to the great beyond. He will be missed by a large circle of friends and his relatives left to mourn his sudden demise are his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Johnstone, his two brothers, Glover and Elmer, and three sisters who were unable to be present during his illness and death. The funeral services were, conducted by Rev. Curtis at the cemetery in Baker and were very impresslve and eloquent. The singing by the choir was beautiful and also the lovely floral contributions spoke well of the esteem in which the deceased was held. The pall bearers were friends of the deceased, having grown to manhood together. Following are those from our neighborhood: Frank Rink, Fay Thompson, Roy Jolly and Lester Wolenetz. We extend the sympathy of the entire community to the bereaved family.
