Willard, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mummert died at the home of his parents east of Leeseburg Tuesday, after an illness of short duration.
The child took suddenly and seriously sick Monday morning at about three o’clock and remained in an unconscious condition until death. Its complaint seemd to baffle the local attending physicians.
Dr. Percy of Galesburg, was called, arriving at the bed side shortly before it passed away. He diagnosed its case as infantile paralysis. A new disease which he claims is fatal in almost every instance.
However everything possible was done to save its life, but all proved fruitless.
Mr. and Mrs. Mummert are heart broken and grief stricken over the untimely death of their dear baby, it being their only child. The father and mother have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow.
The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. C. M. Wilson pastor of the M. E. Church, Thursday at 10 o’clock at the home. Interment in the Woodland cemetery.
