DEATH CLAIMS TWO CHILDREN

Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Westre Lose Baby Boy and Little Girl in Two Days From Same Disease.

Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Westre were terribly bereaved when death entered their home on two successive days last week, taking from them their baby boy and little three year old girl. The children became sick about four weeks ago with whooping cough, which in both cases developed into bronchial pneumonia and meningitis with fatal results. At an early hour Friday morning the baby, a boy ten weeks old, breathed his last, and the girl followed the next morning. Funeral services were held from the home at two o'clock Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. Eastvoldd and the two little bodies were laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Westre have the sincere sympathy of everyone in the community in their sad loss.

Two little angels no on high
They hand in hand together roam
Two links now bind us to the sky
Two fingers beckon us to come
Lord give us strength our loss to bear
And lead us in the heavenly way
Oh may we meet our children there
In realms of everlasting day.
