Again death has entered our midst, taking Floyd, a young son of R.D. Roberts and wife. His death which occurred early yesterday morning was caused by Brights disease. He had been very ill for about two weeks and had suffered greatly. His brothers, Donald and Clarence, arrived a short time before his death. The funeral will occur at three this afternoon at the Congregational church, Rev. Foster officiating, and interment will be at Del Norte. The family has the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
