Gilbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Rapp, was born in Ashton, Nebr., on September 24, 1924 and passed away at the home on September 26, 1930 at the age of 6 years and 2 days.
The little boy was taken sick on the 22nd with what was thought to be croup. Dr. Amick of Loup City, was treating the boy and when he became worse, the parents asked Dr. Amick to call a Grand Island physician for consultation. Dr. McGraff came up on Friday morning and upon confurring with Dr. Amick, decided that it might be infantile paralysis. Every effort was made to save the boy's life but he passed away on Friday afternoon.
He is survived by his parents, two sisters, Caroline and Clara, one brother, Carl, his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John G. Rapp and other relatives.
Funeral services were held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and interment made in St. Francis Cemetery.
