Alfred Griem --- Calumet County Reporter --- January 1, 1915
Another little flower, who in youth and beauty was a pretty sight to behold, has been claimed by the winter's cold blast that leaves disease and destruction in its wake and once again reminds us that every little heart and body needs sunshine and warmth to keep it in full bloom.
Death is sad, yet when it comes from a contagious disease that dangers public health and the remains must be cared for in a seemingly barbaric way, then it is doubly hard to bear.
Little Alfred Griem, son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Griem, died Tuesday morning after a few days illness from diphtheria contracted on Christmas day and the remains were interred in the New Holstein cemetery that evening without the customary services. He was six and one half years of age and unusually bright for one so young. The parents and family have the sympathy of the entire community.
