TWINS DIE WITHIN THREE HOURS
A double tragedy took place at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Tichota of Dale last Friday evening, when their twin sons, Dennis and Francis, born July 26, died within three hours of each other. The babies had suffered slight colds which developed into a streptococcus throat infection. Dennis passed away at 6:30 and Francis died at nine o’clock. They were buried at Howells, Nebraska, the former home of their parents.
The parents and two sons, aged 7 and 3, survive.
