OBITUARY.
Ira Otis, son of Stanley and Alma Ennis, was born May 1, 1899, and died March 28, 1900, aged 10 months and 28 days. For two days and nights he suffered intensely with pneumonia. All that loving hands can do was done but all in vain. He was the pet of the household and leaves a sorrowing father, mother and little brother to mourn his departure. How many aching hearts have been comforted by the Saviour’s cheering words, “Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
