Obituary- Smith, Ernest

TOURISTS LOSE THEIR BABY BY DEATH
Ernest, the two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. William Smith, of Peoria, Ill., died last Thursday night in their tent home at the city park, after a weeks illness.

The child had been sick for a number of days before the parents called for a physician.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith were enroute to Denver where he was to follow his trade as an interior decorator.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s plight appealed to the sympathy of the Rossville people, and as they were not in good financial circumstances, W. W. Morgan took it upon himself to take up a collection. $65.75 was turned over- to them.

Women folks of the town also assisted the parents in every way possible.

Funeral services were held Friday afternoon in the Presbyterian church conducted by Rev. M. D. Berg. The


body was interred in Rossville cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were traveling in their car left Saturday. They were broken up over the loss of their only child but the kind and thoughtful treatment by the Rossville people took off much of the edge to their loneliness and grief over their bereavement.
