Death came into the home of our friend, Gerhard Oncken, Monday and took therefrom a beloved son, William Otto, aged 18 years. The young man was sick but a few days, the disease, pneumonia, doing its deadly work in a hurry. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at the Weimar Cemetery, a large crowd of sympathizing friends witnessing the last sad rites. William Otto was a bright and deserving young man, the pride of his parents, and to give him up just at the time when he was bloming into young manhood and such a help to his parents, is a sad blow indeed. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones. May God sustain them in their affliction is our sincere prayer.
