With great haste Dr. C. D. Busby was called, but no human aid or skill could alleviate the suffering or restore the agonizing child, and at 12:30 o'clock death relieved his little body from torture.
Leroy was born Sept. 3, 1896, and was two years, three months and 15 days old, a bright and promising child. It is a sad, sad blow to the loving parents, and the sympathies of the entire community go out to the grief stricken ones in their hour of sore bereavement.
Funeral services were held in the south side church Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. A. V. Kendrick expending the words of consolation to the sorrowing relatives and friends, and the remains were sadly born to I.O.O.F. cemetery, and laid to rest. A very large concourse of relatives, neighbors and friends were in attendance at the funeral and burial, testifying how deeply they mourned with the sorrowing ones.
