Harold Leroy, son of R. A. and Alice Canning, was born April 26,1887, and died February 29, 1896, of inflammation of the brain caused by an abscess of the mastoid process.
The funeral took place at the residence of O. G. Brown at Aberdeen on Monday. The funeral sermon will be preached at the M. E. Church in Warner, next Sunday at 11 o’clock. This death, after a sickness of about two weeks, is a severe blow to the parents, brothers and sister, who have the sympathy of the entire community.
Little Roy was a favorite with the other members of the household and was greatly beloved by all who knew him.
