Another sad incident has occurred
in the Flack family and this time
We regret TO record the death Of the
boy baby whose birth was recorded
In these columns few months ago,
followed by the death Of his mother,
Mrs. Milton Flack.
The death of the baby last Tuesday

had good care, but il was one Of those
unavoidable accidents that some
times occur when even a mother is
close by.Mr. Flack has the Sympathy
of the community in his sorrow.
The funeral services were held at
