The funeral of little Alfred Wilder took place from the family residence yesterday afternoon at three o’clock, with Rev. J. G. Shick in charge. For some time young Alfred has suffered from an attack of spinal meningitis and only recently did the case assume so serious an aspect as to leave small hope of recovery. In his death, the family lose a very bright young man and in their grief they have the sympanty of a large circle of friends. As we go to press we learn that they lost their little girl yesterday from the same trouble.
