Date of death: 8 Dec 1891 – Johnson County, Indiana

LITTLE SON.
The little three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ransdall [sic] died on Tuesday evening, of diphtheria, and the remains were buried in Greenlawn on Wednesday afternoon. It was only a few weeks ago that the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ransdall [sic] died from the same disease. Their affliction is a doubly sore one, and they have the deepest sympathy of the citizens of this place.
