The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday April 28, 1899 Willow Ridge. The little sixteen months old son of Mr. and Mrs. John SMITH died of something like meningitis last Sunday after a few days' illness. The best of medical skill was called--Dr. MOTT, of Fontana; Dr. WALTHALL, of Paola; and Dr. DOWNS of LaCygne, but all were in vain. On Monday the little fellow was taken to New Lancaster whre the funeral services were delivered by Rev. GILMORE, after which the remains were interred in the New Lancaster cemetery. The bereaved parents have the entire sympathy of all their friends.
