On Monday morning, June 27, 1921, at 5:15 o'clock the Death Angel 
visited the SLATER home and took away the only child of William E. SLATER 
and Gertrude HELLINGS SLATER. He was fourteen years, one month and eight 
days old, born May 19, 1907. At the age of four months he was taken 
seriously ill with scarlet fever, which was followed by la grippe, 
meningitis and whooping cough, this leaving him in a weakened condition, and 
from that time he has been an invalid.
 
Owing to the great care he required his parents became over 
attached to him. Wayne was a beautiful child, but suffered greatly all his 
life.
 
The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon at 3 
o'clock, conducted by the Rev. W. D. LEWIS, and assisted by Rev. W. R. 
MCMUNN.
