JIMMIE PERLENFEIN PASSES AWAY

Relatives here were grieved and shocked Thursday afternoon when a message came telling of the death of Jimmie PERLENFEIN, 7, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Chris PERLENFEIN which occurred at the family home near Mount Ayr, Iowa, that afternoon. The little boy, who has never been very strong, had been suffering with whooping cough and no doubt his system had became weakened from the severe coughing paroxysms.

Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon and interment made in the Waterson (sic) cemetery.

The bereaved parents are well known and have a host of friends here, where they lived for many years and where Jimmie was born. The family moved to Iowa with Mrs. PERLENFEIN's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. MARRS about four years ago.

The relatives from here attending the funeral were, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth BUSSELL and children of Greeley, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest PERRY and children, Theodore PERLENFIEN and Ben MARRS. Mrs. Maggie PERLENFEIN who has been living with her son in Iowa accompanied her son Theodore home on his return Sunday and will visit here for some time. Mrs. Kenneth BUSSELL and children and young Robert PERRY are remaining at Mount Ayr for a few weeks.

The profound sympathy of the entire community and many friends elsewhere will be extended to the sorrowing loved ones.

NOTE: James Arthur "Jimmie" PERLENFEIN was born July 25, 1927, and was interred at Hickory Grove Cemetery, Ringgold County, Iowa.
