CERESCO NEWS - JUNE 11, 1931 - INFANT SON OF MR. AND MRS. ELMER PEARSON PASSES AWAY

The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Pearson passed away late Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services were held from the home this afternoo
This paper extends deepest sympathy to the bereaved parents.

UNKNOWN NEWSPAPER AND DATE

We sincerely sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Pearson. Their infant boy, Philip Eugene, passed away Wednesday, June 10. The parents had planned to have they boy baptized Sunday in church. But God decided otherwise. We baptised Wednesday,e 10, at 3:30, and just one hour later he passed away. The little fellow was sick only two hours. Certainly our days are uncertain. He was buried in Swedeburg Cemetery the following day.
Tho He giveth or He taketh, God, His children ne'er forsaketh, His the loving only, To preserve them pure and holy.

CERESCO NEWS - JUNE 16, 1931 - INFANT SON OF MR. AND MRS. ELMER PEARSON PASSES AWAY

This little boy was born on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 1931. On Wednesday, June 10, the parents went to Lincoln to buy the baptismal clothes for the baby. On the way home from Lincoln he was taken ill. The same afternoon he was baptized and reved the name Philip Eugene. We all felt that the little fellow would not live long. Two doctors worked faithfully but without success. He was sick just two hours and then passed away into eternity at an age of two weeks and three days.
Philip Eugene did not wear his clothes for the baptism. He was dressed in it for the funeral, and oh, how sweet he looked in the little coffin. A short service was held at the Pearson home on Thursday afternoon and the little body was laid tost in the Swedeburg Cemetery.
The Lord has taken one of His children to heaven.
