Willie, son of L. L. Shackford, died
last Saturday evening with diphtheria
aged 13 years. He had been sick about
three weeks and was supposed to be
getting along nicely, but was taken
worse Saturday afternoon and died in a
few hours. He was a very steady
well behaved boy, polite and gentle-
manly to all. He was respected by all
who knew him.
