Death From Measles.

Rex, the little son, of Lou Sellers and wife, from measles, died at his home about 7 p.m., Saturday evening being sick only a few days. His case was con­sidered very serious and on Saturday his condition grew to be alarming, and although everything was done for him, he died in convulsions at the hour named. This is the first death from measles in this city this season. The family have the sympathy of the com­munity in their sad bereavement. The funeral occurred from the family re­sidence Monday afternoon at two o’clock.
