FOUR YEAR OLD BOY DIED SUDDENLY

Child of Henry Meyers of Kniman Died Within Few Moments After Eating Dinner. Eddie, the 4-year-old son of Henry Meyers, of near Kniman, brother of Mayor Geo. F. Meyers, of this city, died suddenly Thursday afternoon at about 1 o’clock. The little fellow had been ill for about two weeks, suffering from stomach trouble, but recently had been somewhat improved. He was taken to the dinner table Thursday and was seated on the lap of a member of the family when he became suddenly very sick and died before medical aid was received. The funeral will be held at the residence near Kniman at 10 o’clock Saturday morning and burial made in the Wheatfield cemetery by the side of the mother, who died almost three years ago.
