| HELM.-Died, of cholera infantum,
at the Cal Harvey home in Bonair,
Iowa, Sunday afternoon, Sept. IL,
1915, Wilson Helm, the twin son OF
Mr. and Mrs. John f. Helm, aged 2
years, and 8 months. The other son,
Woodrow, is very sick and little hope
of recovery is entertained. Mr.. and
Mrs. Helm with the boys. left. their
home in Marshalltown for visit at
the Harvey home and it was at this
place the little boy took sick and died.
The body was placed in the receiving
vault at Cresco, Iowa, to await the
outcome of the other sons illness, at
which time they will bring it to Mar
shalltown for inteTment. Mr.. Helm
has lived in Oskaloosa until a few
years ago and has many friends here
who sympathiZe with, them in their
sorrow.
HELM-T. M. Helm has received
word of the death of his grandson,
Wilson Helm, one of the twins OF MIR
and Mrs. John Helm. The other boy
Woodrow, is in very serious condition
and is not expected to live. ,.
The twins home is in Marshalltown
where their father is engaged in the
railroad business. One week ago last
Friday the mother and boys started
to CresCO, to visit with Mrs. Helms
sister who lives on a farm nine miles
out from Cresco and while in Mason
City, enrOute to their aunts farm
Wilson complained 10 his mother Of
feeling sick and said he wanted to go
back home The mother thought the
complaint only a childish desire and
paid no attention to the Childs health
until several days after that when
Wilson came into the house from play
ing and said that he was sick. One
hour after that he was unconscious
He did not fully recover from this be
fore his death Sunday.
The 0est doctors in that part of the
country were secured and the utmost
care was given, but the illness was so
we'll founded that no r3lief was given
While this boy lay sick, the twin
brother began to show signs of sick
ness and now Woodrow is lying at the
point of death. Doctors diagnose the
trouble as cholera infantum and think
lit resulted from some unwholesome
food.
Wilson was 2 years, 8 months and
sixteen years old when he died
One. peculiar incident concerning
the twins, Woodrow and Wilson, is
the fact that whenever one was sick
the other passed through the same
ILLNESS and suffering. The parents say
this has been true a number Of times
