  Wilbur R. Yutzy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Allen G. Yutzy of Pocahontas, died on 
Saturday, February 8th, at 10 p.m., at the age of 16 years, 7 months and 4 days.  
He had just recovered from an attack of diphtheria which left his heart in bad 
condition and caused his death.  He had been working for the last few years in 
the clay mines and was the sole support of his parents and their family, due to 
his father being a cripple for some time.  He was buried, Tuesday, February 
11th, in the Greenville Cemetery, by Undertaker W. C. Price, at 2 p.m.  Funeral 
services were conducted at the home by Rev. J. E. Gindlesperger of Berlin.  In

younger than the deceased.
