Last Friday morning Frank Hall. of
Little Falls, Mimi, arrived in town
for the purpose of attending the fu-
neral OF his father, G. W. Hall, who
died at Raymond, S. D. Wednesday
but he was verv much gr,e7ed TO learn
upon his arrival here that his father
was to bo buried at Raymond. It
seems that he received telegram
Thursday stating that his father had
died and asking him if he would come
to the funeral. Knowing that the
family burial lot, wherein his mother
was burisd. was In Greenwood Gem
etery, Nashua. Iowa, he supposed OF
course that the burial would be at
this place. and after sending a mes

them at Nashua, left for here. It Ia
supposed that the relative, after wait

Mr.. Hall. and not getting it, returned
to their home in the country and pro-
ceeded with tie funeral services. It
was indeed a sad misunderstanding
for gthe bereaved son who had jour.
neyed so many miles to pay his last
respects to the beloved parent, only
to learn that his journey was in vain.
