Elwood Tyler Coates, aged 17 days infant son of Rev. and Mrs. J.T.L. Coates, died Monday evening, death being caused by infantile convulsions. The little son was ill only a short time and his sudden taking away from his fond parents leaves a sad home. Rev. L.P. Warford of Cando performed the religious rites. The interment was made in the Island Lake cemetery, the burial being in charge of John A. Murphy. The sympathy of the many friends of the mourning parents goes out to them in the sad hour of bereavement. Those who attended the funeral from out of town were: C. A. Bessler and Russell Bessler of Egeland and Mrs. George Copeland of Cando.—Rolette Examiner.
