The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, July 22, 1909 AUGUST LOF, the 13-year-old son of MRS. T.J. LOF, several miles northeast of this city, was found in his room upstairs, at the LOF home, last Thursday, hanging by a rope of binding twine, dead. No cause for the act can be recalled. At noon he seemed cheerful and was going out with the men to the fields to work, in the afternoon. At noon he went upstairs and was later found as above mentioned. His father died a couple of years since. Rev. Elmquist held funeral services on Friday afternoon at the home, the interment taking place at the Niswender Cemetery. This is a very sad passage in events and truly all sympathize with the grief stricken mother and family. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 3, 2005 iggy29@rnetinc.net 'A Closed Mouth Gathers No Foot'.
