Obituary.

Man’s last enemy stole into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wes Williams, of Chicago, formerly of this place, and laid his withering hand on their little son, Ora, and claimed him as his victim. Ora was born in Rensselaer May 27, 1909, and departed this life July 17, 1917, aged 8 years, 1 month and 20 days. He leaves to mourn his departure, father, mother, two brothers and one sister and other rfelatives. The little body was brought frdm Chicago to Rensselaer and buried in Weston cemetery. Rev. Beard, of the Baptist church, conducted a short service at the grave. Those attending the services from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Jay Fosdick, of Weston, 111., Mrs. A. M.. Fosdick, Reuben Fosdick and Mrs. Emma Burdett, of Fairbury, 111. A little one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled the boon his love hath given and though the body molders here, the soiil is safe in heaven.
