their various tasks, the children fro
licking about the yard as usual, the
little fellow, year and a half old
toddling around gleefully with them.
Mrs. Wilhelm and her sister were
picking grapes just by the house and
Mr.. Wilhelm was about the evening
chores. 1t seemed but an instant that
the baby was out Of sight when Leon
ard, the older brother, found the lit
tie one face down in a small waste
ditch only few feet away. 1t is sup
posed that in falling the fright caused
him to gasp, drawing into the lungs
so much water as to make it impossi-
BILE to struggle or cry out. Aid was
at once and physician res
ponded quickly, and though every eff
fort was employed for resuscitation
until late in the evening, not a culver
of pulsation could be stimulated. The
shock to the family seems almost too
much, and the sympathy of their many
friends goes out to them in their sor-
row. Two other children are left,
Florence aged 9, and Leonard, aged
IA. Little Ray Francis was 18 months
and 13 days old, and during his short
stay with the loved ones had been a
joy and delight. OF an ex-
affectionate disposition,
the memories of his sweet babyhood
will be q blessing upon those left a
while longer. A funeral service was
held Sunday afternoon at the home,
conducted by Rev. McSparran Of the
Christian church and Rev. Finley, who
IS a close neighbor and friend.
