Obituary from the June 29, 1892 issue of the Bancroft Register newspaper:
Ralph Alcorn --At Seneca, Iowa.
The family of W.W. Alcorn of Seneca Township are called on this week to mourn the death of a son and brother, Ralph, aged about five years. The little fellow died of the measles yesterday and the funeral will be held today. It is only a couple of months since this family was bereaved by the death of a daughter (Edith May Alcorn) and they have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad affliction. The one who gave the little one can alone give lasting comfort in such trying hours.
