Great Loss, Which Has eefallen
Them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Tucker, who
reside in Coffins Grove Township, sui
fered the irreparable loss of their twe
children, two bright boys, one baby
Of q little over a year old, and the
other . son Two and half years old.
The babies were taken Ill last week
with cholera infantum, Of the most
violent form. Every known remedy
was resorted to and the constant care
Of parents was given the sick babies
In an effort to save their lives. but
all to no avail.
Clarence, the fourteen months old
baby, passed away on August 1ltn,
after an illness of only a few
days. Brief services were he'd in the
family home on Saturday OF last wee
and the little body laid in the re-
ceiving vault in Oakland cemetery.
Louis, the two and half year old
son, passed away early Monday morn
ing. He, like his baby brother, with
stood the disease for only brief
time. Services were held in the home
on Tuesday morning. Rev. G. X. Hud-
son conducted the same. The remains
of the two children Were taken to
Cascade, where the family fermerly
resided, Interment was made in the
Cascade cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
Seldom does such calamity come
to household as has come to this
home. Why two little ones should be
taken within so short a space Of time
and from the same home, will remain
mystery until that day when par
ents and children will be once
more united, In that realm where
sorrow, Is unknown. ~,
Weep not for these whom the veil
Of the tomb
In life's happy morning hath hid
from our eyes,
Ere sin threw a blight DER the
spirits young bloom,
Or earth had profaned what was
horn for the skies.
