We are sorry to report the death of
Ralph Perkins, son of G. M. Perkins, which
occurred very suddenly July 4. He had
not been well but attended school Friday;
he grew suddenly worse, however, and de-
spite the best of care and medical attend
ance, died Monday morning. Ralph was
a bright, promising boy, an only son and
the idol of his parents and sisters. The
sympathy of all is extended to them in
their bereavement.
CARD OF THANKs.-We, the undersign-
ed, desire to express our gratitude to all
who SO kindly rendered assistance during
the illness, death and burial of our beloved
son and brother, and to those who fur
nished the flowers and made beautiful the
last resting place in the cemetery. We as
sure you that this kindly interest goes far
toward soothing grief which seems al
most too great to bear.
Mr.. and Mrs. CHARLES PERKINS,
ADA and LENA PERKINS.
