Donald Thompson. youngest son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Thompson. died
AT the family residence, 500 Belle
view avenue. Tuesday morning at
l2:l5 o'clock. aged fourteen years.
two months and twenty-four days.
Donald was born in La Junta and

its people. He was member OF the
eighth grade OF the Lincoln school
and was held In the highest esteem
by his school fellows and by his
teachers. II Is said OF him tha, he
never forgot his honor and that he
was truthful above everything. The
child had endured five weeks i'll
ness with fortitude and patience that
was wonderful In one SO young. and
those who love him so deeply. az
well as his friends and his acquain-
tances. wanted very much that he
should recover TO live on, his prom
ising life. He was member OF the
Methodist Sunday school and was
loved and honored by his associates
in that body also.
There are no words to be uttered
which can give comfort to the dead
child's devoted father and mother or
to the loving sisters and brothers.
and only those who have seen dear
one suffer and die and have missed
one who was precious and familiar
from his or her accustomed place can
realize In any degree what their spr.
row is. or can offer an understanding
sympathy.
The funeral service was held Thurs
day afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock. at the
residence. conducted by Rev. Taylor
and Rev. W. A. Brown, and inter.
ment was at Fairyiew cemetery.
