Died.

The angel of death again visited
La Jara and coaxed from the ten
der arms of his parents, Mr.. and
and Mrs. Dunham, Elmer, their
three year old son.
The little boy had been ill but a
short time with the dread disease,
pneumonia, and all that man could
do was of no avail. Although
there are heartaches and lonliness
left in the trail of this death, yet
the thought that soothes is of a
dear one Graded safely on the
other side.
To the bereaved ones we extend
our heartfelt sympathies.
