PNEUMONIA CLAIMS INFANT SON OF MR. AND MRS. LUERS

Alden, the five months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Luers, of south of town, died at the home of Edward Kanne at four o’clock Monday afternoon of pneumonia, following an illness of five weeks. The little one was taken to the hospital shortly after contracting the illness, and after some improvement was taken to the Kanne, home. Later he was taken to the hospital and apparently was on the road to recovery, and his condition was so favorable that the parents decided to again remove him to the Kanne home. However, his condition. became worse a few days ago and he sank rapidly until the end came. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock at St. Augustine church and burial will be made in Mt. Calvary cemetery.
