L. Bonner, of Rosebud, was visted by the death angel. Their youngest child, Erskine Portis Bonner, aged ten months, was taken with a conjestive chill, and in less than a minute breathed its last. While the little fellow was somewhat indisposed the day before, the fond parents had no idea that he was so seriously ill. Like his little deceased brother, Julian, the spark of life went out in the twinkling of an eye. He was buried early the next morning in the Oak Hill cemetery, many sypathetic friends having followed the little corps to its last resting place.
