EDWARD WREDE
APRIL 20, 1888

Eddie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wrede, died at his parents home at four o'clock Tuesday morning, April 17.

Just three weeks prior to his death he was taken with lung fever, and all that could be done was done for him until he was thought to be improving, and last Friday morning, in compliance with his earnest request, he was pillowed up in a large chair and allowed to partake of breakfast with the family. Monday he was not as well, and early Tuesday morning slept, away without the least struggle.

Oswald Edward Fred Wrede was born in Chatsworth, August 11, 1872, and consequently was 15 years, 8 months and 6 days of age at the time of his death.

Eddie was a great favorite with his schoolmates and loved by his companions and teachers. He was ever studious, obedient, and of an especially kind, and thoughtful disposition, and having passed from grade to grade, and room to room, in our public schools, had reached the Junior class in the High School. Parents, brothers and sisters, teachers, schoolmates and friends all looked upon Eddie with pride, as his perserverance, studiousness, and kindness were evidences of a noble, good man.

The funeral was from the German Evangelical church at ten o'clock Thursday morning, Rev. Wingert, assisted by Rev. H.C. Birch, officiating. The floral offerings were unusually beautiful and appropriate.

The pupils of the public school paid their last tribute to their departed schoolmate in a body, and in the loss of their loved one the bereaved parents, brothers and sisters have the deep sympathy of many friends.
