Lawrence, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Schroeder, died on Thursday
morning,
Sad and mournful
indeed is the once happy home of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Schroeder. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Schroeder took her
baby boy and went to her fathers, Mr. Philip Fuesz,
for a short visit. The little one played
about, seemingly in the best of health but a change took place about supper
time and he began to cry. The mother
took him in her arms and saw that he was sick.
Continuing to grow worse the father was immediately sent for, but before
he could arrive the little fellow breathed his last. The illness lasted but four or five
hours. This is the second loss that has
come to Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder the first being the death of a pair of bright
and beautiful twins. Little
