Chester, Aged Twelve, Is Claimed by
The Death Angel.

Chester Allen Powell, 12-year-old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Powell, Jr,
died at the family residence, near Par
rott, Wednesday morning Just after
~ O'Clock. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. c. M. Inhngerr on
Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 O'Clock
in the presence of many relatives and
friends. The interment was made IN
the Parrott cemetery. Chester had
hardly reached the years of account
ability, but he had already developed
fine traits of character and was espe-
cially considerable of others. His illness
was due to blood poison, which devel-
oped very rapidly the beloved young
bov being confined to his bed only
five days. Everything that medical
skill could suggest was done to coun-
teract the infection which started from
small sore on his liz. The high es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
was attested by a mass OF flowers
banked about his casket. The family
have been doub1y bereaved, the death
of Chester following closely the go
! ing away of his brother, Kirk, anoth-
er promising boy In their great sor'
row the stricken ones have the sym
tpathv of many friends.
