Death of Little Floyd Ralne
Little Floyd four-year-old son of Mr
and Mrs William Raine suddenly ex
pired last Friday fle had been suffer
ing from a severe attack of tonsilitis
which left his heart in a precarious con
dition and finally resulted in the little
fellows death
Services were held at home last Sun
day afternoon after which the romains
were laid away in Riverview cemetery
The parents and relatives have tender
est sympathy in the death of little
Floyd
Floyd youngest son of Mr and Mrs
William Raine was born in Antigo
Wisconsin in March 1905 It is a
coincidence that the twin brother who
proceded him to the spirit land passed
away and was buried on the same hour
of tbe day and the same day of the
week
CARD OK THANKS

words can express to all the kind friends
and neighbors for assistance and sym

Numerous Small Damage
Reports from over the county indi
cate that no severe damage was done
anywhere or anyone in the county but
that the instances of damage are num
erous Windmills were blown down by
the high wind of last week fences went
down by the miles small buildings were
blown over chimneys suffered from the
gale housewives were given extra work
and so on ad infinitum but the total
loss and damage is not large and alto
gether we are to be congratulated upon
escaping so easily from the storm which
compassed the land from ocean to ocean
gulf to Great Lakes with wind of tor
nado force below zero temperature and
overwhelming snow in some sections
