RALPH SCHMIDT
DEAD; FUNERAL
SERVICE TODAY
Body Taken East After Brief
Ceremony Attended by SOr-
rowing Friends.

Three weeks OF terrible agony
borne with uncomplaining stoicism
was brought TO a tragic close early
this morning when Ralph Schmidt.
14-year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. A.
NJ. Schmidt. S3l Main. passed away.
Clear-eyed and rational, the hoy met
his death with the same fortitude
with which he had withstood is suf-
fcrings.
The fatal illness OF the boy was
highly unusual As lad he was
unusually energetic, going a step
further than his fellows in most Of
the activities of his outdoor life and
he had overexerted the points of his
knees, hips and back. a few weeks
ago he leaped from the rcof of his
fathers garage to the ground and the
injuries he had sustained previously
came to a climax. He became vio-
leutly i'll and the diseases of the
joints quickly spread to hemorrhage
of the bowels. Peritonitis followed
and for several days hopes for his re-
ccvery have been slight The end
came shortly after two o'clock this
morning.
The sufferlngs OF the lad were
heart-rending to his parents and their
friends who watched at his bedside.
But Ralph never uttered word of
complaint. When his frame was
racked with agony he managed to
hide it as well as was humanity posi-
Die and when finally his vitality was
expended and the Grim Reaper de-
manded his own, the boy loosened his
hold on life and with almost n smile
crossed the River
Kind. gentle, devoted to his par
ents and particularly to his little
brother, Ralph made friends wher-
ever he went. He was fond of the
outdoors, prominent in athletics and
ia steady attendant at his Sunday
school. Few boys We're more popular
in their youth or had brighter prom
ises for his future than Ralph
Schmidt His passing has brought
pang of deep regret to every person
who knew him.
This afternoon at 2;30 o'clock at
the home Rev. j. ]. Giblin had charge
.of the brief funeral services. He de-
livered touching eulogy on the life
and character Of the deceased Spe-
cial music under the direction OF
Carl A. Hillyer followed
The bier was escorted to the train
by six pallbearers chosen from the
Sunday school class to which Ralph
belonged.
Accompanied by Mr.. Schmidt and
the lads grandmother, Mrs. Cassie
Baker, the body was taken to El Do
RADIO Springs, Mo-. where interment

friends attended the funeral services
and the floral tributes were both
numerous and beautiful.

ter.

that the returns from the delegates

to her brothers face, and rather
than provoke 1t she decided to keep

attendant upon the thinking, and
moulding and writing of her good

A wounded soldier soon to die was lay
ing on the ground;
The life blood it was flowing fast that
day from that there wound.
He felt himself grow weaker as the sun
sank in the west,
& called his comrades round him, the
ones he loved the best.
He told them how he loved them, on
that sad and fatal day.
And how he liked his foemen till they
shot his shinS away;
And Just as he was paSsing-to a bet
ter world, we hope
He cIasped his comrades by their hands
and murmured this here dope:
Chorus:
Don't give my wife no penshun,
Neither gold nor paper dough;
She's saved mp every penny
That ! earned since long ago.
She gave me 30 cents week.
That had to see me through
Don't give my wife no penshun,
