Chest Springs Child's Death

  Wesley Worth McDonald, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ford McDonald of 
Chest Springs, writes a correspondent of the Johnstown TRIBUNE, "died 
at the home of the parents Wednesday morning of last week, aged one 
year, one month and six days.  His death was due to bronchitis, 
following an illness from teething.  As mentioned, the child's parents 
survive as do also its paternal and maternal grandparents - Mr. and 
Mrs. Perry McDonald of Yeagertown, O., and Mr. and Mrs. Leck Wills of 
Chest Springs. Funeral services were conducted at the home of the 
parents by the Rev. Whitman of Patton who preached an impressive sermon 
and interment was made in the M. E. Cemetery at Chest Springs.  There 
were some handsome floral offerings, including a bouquet from Dr. Harry 
Somerville and a wreath from Mrs. Alice Wharton. The pallbearers were 
Masters Francis Kearney, Harry Wharton, Clair Little and Lemon Wills. 
The afflicted parents have the sympathy of the whole community in the 
death of their only child."
