 The community was saddened on Thanksgiving morning by the death of little Freddie Wehner, who had been ill for nearly three weeks. He was first confined to the house by an attack of bronchitis which later developed i'm tn Tun iuI,f it was thought he had met the crisis. Although he was very low all day Wednesday. in the evening it was sup posed his chances for recovery were en- couraging, but owing to the condition of his heart, he passed away on Thurs day morni1 at about seven o'clock. Freddie was known by everyone in the village, having many friends among the old and young. Owing to the los. ing of his mother two years ago the sympathy was greater being left without a mother at the tender age of eight years. The bereaved father has the sympathy of the whole community as this was the only child. He is now bereft of his whole family and left alone to battle with his sorrow, al. though friends sympathize and feel sorry they cannot realize the heaviness of that heart, without passing through and experiencing the same, and only then can tell how burdened that heart is just now. Freddie was taken at the tender age of II years if he had sur vived his birthday in January. The funeral took place in the M. E. church on Saturday morning, the body taken to Brooklyn, N. Y., the same day and l was cremated as Mrs. Wehner was at her death.
