The two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Nestor, while playing at his home Wednesday noon, fell into a tank of water and drowned before help arrived. The parents of the baby were away from home at the time of the accident. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved parents in this their hour of sorrow.

Obituary – Raymond Edward Nestor, child of Edward and Gertrude Nestor, was born nine miles north of Wolbach, January 12, 1917 and died September 4th, 1918, aged one year, seven months and twenty two days.
This death was an unusually sad event of the kind. The little one fell into a water tank near the house. The amount of water in the tank was insufficient to produce drowning, but marks on the forehead showed that he had fallen in head first, and was stunned into unconsciousness, and with face downward in the shallow water died before he had time to recover.
He leaves to mourn the loss, his father and mother, grandmother and three sisters: Emma, Francis and Margaret. One sister, Gertrude preceded him in death.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. R. A. White, were held in the Lutheran church, Friday, September 6th, 1918, after which the body was laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery. The stricken family have the sympathy of the entire community, as was evinced by the large number that attended the funeral and followed the little one to his last resting place.
CARD OF THANKS – I wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kind help during the death and burial of our son Raymond. E. F. Nestor and family.
