His death brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the life of friends and relatives. In his youthful innocence he was as pure as gold and had always been a bright and promising child up to a few months agos, when he was first taken ill. Young as he was, and though he cherished life, he realized what was overtaking him; and on the night previous he bade his parent and brother goodbye and went to sleep. Yet he lingered until the next morning when he passed peacefully away. It is sad at any time to stand beside the bed of one dying and watch life's ebbing tide drifting the loved one slowly, perhaps, but surely into the great ocean of eternity; but when it comes whispering from parched lips of innocent childhood the parting words of death, it brings a pang to the wounded heart that is hard to believe. His father and three brothers are left to mourn his death, his mother passing away about three years ago, when he was in infancy. Funeral services were conducted from the German Lutheran Church in Plainview Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. G. Drews officiating and interment made in the family lot in Greenwood Cemetery. To the broken-hearted parent and borthers who sit in sorrow where his footsetps shall never again find echo we extend the sympathy of friends. CARD OF THANKS To all the friends whose sympathy and services were so kindly tendered in our time of bereavement, we desire to extend our sincere thanks. Rudolph Timm & Family From a search of Encyclopedia Brittanica, 8/18/2000: The team consisting of Dr. F.G. Banting, Mr. C.H. Best, Mr. J.B. Collip and Prof. J.J.R. MacLeod discovered insulin in 1921 at the University of Toronto. While insulin is not a cure, this medical discovery has and continues to save millions of lives around the world.
