RECEIVE SAD NEWS

Mr. and Mrs. John Aronson, residing on a farm south of Blair, received word Wednesday that their son, Clayton of Kearney, Nebr., was in a critical condition and that the attending physician despaired of his life. The young man had just recently visited his parents here but upon his return home had had some teeth extracted which apparently caused his trouble.

Mrs. Aronson and Chester left immediately for his bedside as did also Mrs. George Snyder who is his mother-in-law. They reached Kearney in time to find the son alive but he passed away at midnight. Every effort was made that week humanity can do in these cases but complications arose and pneumonia set in which proved fatal.

The Enterprise extends sympathy in the trying ordeal.
