LAD'S DEATH KEENLY FELT IN COMMUNITY
Frederick Wormood Dies Friday Night - Funeral Held Monday Morning.

One of the saddest deaths which has occurred in this city in many years
was that of Frederick Wormood, ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. F.E.
Wormood of this city on last Friday evening at the home of his
grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Charles Brady.

Mrs. Wormood arrived home Friday afternoon from Waco, Texas where she
had been visiting her brother.  During her absence Frederick had been
staying with his grandparents and had been seriously ill but a few
hours, a slight cold which he had contracted the day before, developing
at noon on Friday in Pulmonary Adema, which proved to be fatal.

He was born in Lake Geneva, Nov. 2, 1907 and died Dec. 28, 1917.

Frederick was a favorite with all his playmates and teachers and in
fact with all who knew him.  He was of a particularly sunny disposition
and early showed marked muscial ability.  Everyone will miss him
deeply.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Smith at St. Francis de
Sales church at nine o'clock Monday morning.  Rev. Smith in remarks
told of the many many loving traits of Frederick's character and said
his associates would do well to emulate him in his manliness.  Six of
his little friends acted as pallbearers: Charles Brady, Vincent Allen,
John Host, Milton Reed, Lester Edwards and Hugh Lewis Burdick.  The
floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.  Burial was in the
Catholic cemetery.

The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sorrowing parents
and relatives.
