DEATH VISITS FORMER REMINGTON FAMILY.

Larimore, No. Dak., July 23. Editor Democrat: Mr. and Mrs. Ace Courtright, who lived near Remington for the past few years and moved to Larimore, No. Dak., last spring, lost their beloved son Leroy, on Saturday, July 17, at 2 p. m. He was eleven years of agp the. 6th of December last. He took sick ‘on Thursday and was taken to the doctor, who said he had adight attack of appendicitis and would be alright in a few days. But he grew worse, and as the doctor had advised an operation as soon as he was over this attack they thought it best to take him at once. They arrived at the Northwood hospital at 10 a. m., and the operation was performed in about an hour, but it proved too late, as blood poisoning had set in, and medical skill or love could not save him. He died as he had lived, a haifpy innocent child. The neighbors were kindness itself, coming for miles around to pay their last respects, bringing hosts of flowers. Burial services were held at the Catholic church and interment made in the Catholic cemetery, just north of Larimore. God has taken home our darling, And our bitterest grief has past; For we know that he is waiting In the land of Eternal rest.

MRS. J. T. WAGNER.
