Little Robert Wagner, only child of Herman and Lena Wagner, died this morning at 3:30 o'clock of acute indigestion. Robert was a bright little fellow of three years, idolized by his parents and was a friend to every one. The little body will be laid to rest in the cemetery at Manatah (should be Wanatah), the former home of his parents.

OBITUARY.
During the Spring of 1915, a bright, little life was ushered into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wagner, of Greentown, Ind., but its stay was brief ere grim death without warning, with his sickle keen, cut this tender young flower.
Robert, the three year old son of Herman and Mrs. Wagner, died early Tuesday morning, following an illness of but a few hours. The little lad had played during the day as usual, and was seemingly alright.
Robert was a bright little fellow, loved by everyone. The news of his rather sudden death was a shock to the community. He had never had very good health until this summer, and seemed to have just reached the point where his parents were sure that he had won the battle against physical odds.
None of us can understand the taking away of Robert. But perhaps He, who doeth all things well, knew best. The parents have that comfort, even though their grief seems unbearable. They surely have the sympathy of the entire community in their present bereavement.
The funeral services were held at the Evangelical Salems church, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Krause officiating. Robert was laid to rest in the Evangelical Salems cemetery, west of town.
He leaves to mourn him, father, mother, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.
" It was not at the dark hour of
midnight,
Death's angel called Robert
away;
But in the light, the glorious light
Of a beautiful morning hour.
There is a shadow o'er our home
That no sunlight can erase;
It is the absence of dear Robert
And his kind and loving face.
And we fancy we hear him playing
On that harp of solid gold.
He's enjoying the beauties of
Heaven
While it's melodies unfold.
And as the years roll swiftly on
And the moments gently fly,
We'll meet dear Robert in the
Great Beyond
To never say good-bye."
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to express our due appreciation and thanks for all kindness and valuable assistance rendered us during the illness and death of our dear son Robert. We shall ever hold with reverence the memory of the songs, the beautiful floral tributes and the comforting words of our friends.
MR. AND MRS. HERMAN WAGNER.
