ALLIE GEISS
	Allie, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Geiss, died at the 
home of his parents in this city Tuesday at 3 o'clock p.m. of Cerebro-
spinal meningitis.  He was born on Aug. 12, 1891, and was therefore 7 
years 6 months and 9 days old.  Allie was a bright and dutiful son and 
brother and liked by all who knew him and will be sadly missed by his 
parents brother and sisters and his many playmates.  He was taken sick 
Saturday evening and complained of having pains in his shoulder.  All 
that kind hearts and medical assistance could do for him was done, but 
all to no avail.  He passed quietly away after an illness of only three 
days.  The funeral will take place Friday from the residence at 2 p.m. 
and the remains will be laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery.  His 
school mates have contributed a sum of money to obtain flowers and will 
march in a body to his last resting place.
