dies little grave was the first

years, 6 months and 7 days old

was caused by a very bad caso
of dysentery. Medical atten-
tion and careful nursing fail-
ed to arrest the progress of the
disease and after an illness of 4
days he passed away.
Freddy was possessed of ex-
traordinary intelligence and was
able to intelligently discuss tho
current subjects or tho day.
With but one trial he could re-
peat from memory a poem of or
dinary length. The future held
great promise for him in a li't-
erary way. Although almost
helpless from paralysis, he was
of a wonderfully cheerful dispo-
sition. A warm, cherry smile

only reception ever received by
any one from Freddie Floyd.
His life made an impression

community goes out to the sor-
rowing relatives. He leaves a
devoted mother, a Mnd step
fa her and 3 sisters and other
re r.'tives to mourn his loss.
