STOCKBRIDGE – The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mortell was visited by the grim reaper, Death, on Tuesday, the last of the old year taking therefrom, Gerald Joseph youngest child, aged one year, one month and eight days.

The little fellow suffered an attack of influenza some few weeks ago from which he seemingly recovered. Later other complication developed and the advice of a second physician was sought, who suggested a minor operation. But the little form was unable to withstand so much suffering and on Tuesday the soul of baby Gerald returned to his Maker.
While hearts beat here on earth, they will never ceased to from earthly ties and attachments, which no matter how child-like and pure, bring keenest pain in separation.
The while the bereft parents with true Christian fortitude find solace in the worlds of our Holy Mother the Church, “there we have no abiding place,”all hearts were made for God, and find no rest but in Him.

A father and mother, two little brothers Eugene and Robert, besides many relatives and friends mourn the loss of the baby boy.

The funeral took place from the residence to St. Mary’s church, from there by carriages to St. Mary’s cemetery.
