He was in school Monday and Tuesday, apparently as well as usual, but was stricken Tuesday night with Tonsilitis and his spirit winged its flight to that bright world beyond Saturday morning. > Much more not copied. > [Note: I do not find a marked grave in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in the Lot where his parents are buried.
