The child was never able to sit up or walk and a few days ago contracted measles which caused his death. The funeral services were held Monday morning at 10:30 in the Lutheran Church. Rev. W. H. B. Carney the Pastor conducted the service. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. John, the nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Nicola died Tuesday morning at six o'clock. John had been suffering with diabetes for several months but was able to attend the funeral of his brother Leroy on Monday. It is thought that the shock of his brother's death hastened his death. The funeral was held in the Lutheran Church Thursday morning at 10:30 by pastor, W. H. B. Carney. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the Nicola family in their double bereavement.
