The funeral of Charles Francis Porter, the infant son, of Mr. 
and Mrs. Miles Porter of Mankato occurred at this place 
[Vernon Center, MN] Monday afternoon.  The little one was 
some six or eight weeks old and had been in perfect health 
until Saturday morning, when it was taken suddenly ill and 
died before medical aid could be procured.  The body was 
brought to this place on the noon train [from Mankato] Monday 
and the interment made at the Vernon [Center] cemetery, 
following a short song and prayer at the grave.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Porter were former residents of this place [Vernon Center, 
MN] and have a large circle of friends here who will 
sympathize with them in their sorrow.
