Laid to Rest
Funeral of Little Howard Trunken
boltz Is Held at Eagle
This Afternoon
The funeral of little Howard
Trunkenboltz, 2. was held this af
ternon at Eagle, the home of the
Trunkenboltz family and a large
number attended the servces for
the little lad, victim of a tragedy
that occurred on Wednesday at the
home of his parents at Council Bluffs.
The accident that caused the little
ones death occurred as his mother.
Mrs. Harry Trunkenboltz, 1901
South 9th street, was telephoning
her mother, Mrs. J. A. Graham, to
inquire as to a minor accident that
had befallen her father. As the
mother was telephoning the little
babe had crawled up onto the oven
door of the kitchen stove and reach
ing for something to pull himself up
farther, grabbed ahold of the tea
kettle and which was upset, the
scalding water spraying over the
child and inflicting terrible burns
about the neck, chest and arms. The
first intimation of the accident came
in the screams of the child that the
mother heard as she was conversing
over the telephone. The injured
babe was hurried to the Mercy hos
pital to receive treatment but the
injuries were such that little aid
could be rendered and the child
passed away at midnight.
The death came as a terrible blow
to the family where a big Christmas
party t,was being planned for the
children and instead of the happy
celebration planned the home is
desolate and saddened.
The little one is survived by the
parents, two brothers, Cloyd 9, and
Donald 5, an infant sister, Velma,
and the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Trunkenboltz of Eagle and
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Graham of Coun
cil Bluffs.

MANY ENJOY SHOW
Trom Saturday's Daily
The closing night of "Sixty Miles
An Hour" at the Parmele theatre
last evening was witnessed by a fine
audience that was well pleased with
the fine presentation that the young
people of the cast gave.
The features of the Kiddies Ca
beret section of the show was again
a great success and in this connec
tion it may be mentioned that little
Miss Edna Mae Peterson as "Joan
Crawford" was very clever in her
tap dancing number.
The ladies of the Woman's club
have worked hard to make the play
a success and while they realized a
small amount, the heavy expense of
the production will not give them as
large a return as was hoped for. .
