Robert Alx McConnell Robert McConnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. McConnell, was born at Fruitland, Idaho, June 30, 1904, and passes away Friday, August 14, 1925, at the age of 21 years, 1 month and 14 days. Robert’s school days were spent in Fruitland, except this last year, which was in Ontario. He was converted and joined the Fruitland Baptist Church at the age of 12. He has been afflicted with leakage of the heart for four years. The last three months he has been under the care of a physician and the last three weeks was confined to his bed. Robert realized his critical illness and bore it patiently, trying to be cheerful. All was done that a loving family could do, but all bowed to the will of Heaven, feeling sure that a wiser hand pours out this portion for our lips to drink. Robert will be missed in the home and he leaves to mourn for him, besides his parents, five sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Frances Yager, Mrs. Rosa McKenney, Wm. H.; Mabel, Edith, Floyd and Iola. The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church by Rev. Bartch in a very impressive manner, the floral offerings were beautiful. Robert was laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery, beside his older brother, Walter. The parents and loved ones have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of the son and brother.
