The three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Greve died Monday night from injuries received some ten days previous. He was running on the sidewalk with an ordinary tin horn in his mouth, when he stumbled and fell, driving the horn into his throat and causing a very painful injury, from which blood poisoning set in. Rev. J. A. Barker conducted a short religious service at the home Wednesday, and the remains were taken to Daykin for interment. To be bereft of their only child is a very sad affliction for the parents, and they have the sympathy of the entire community in the fullest measure.

Apparently well and strong, after a brief illness of twenty-four hours the baby passed away, aged six weeks and four days. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Pease Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Coffman officiating. The house was crowded with friends who came to sympathize with the mourners in their hour of sorrow.
