Son of W. N. and E. M. Byers.
DIED.-At West Liberty, on Monday Dec. 18th, of pneumonia, JAMES H. Son of Wm. N. and E. M. Byers: aged 17 months and two days.
We find the following touching obituary upon the death of the little son of our Senior in the Muscatine (Iowa) Journal,
"Only a few weeks ago we saw the bright-eyed little boy, whose death is announced above, traveling in company with his mother, full of health and happiness, from his far-off home, at Denver to visit the house of his grand-parents at West Liberty during the holidays.
He was cut down like a flower, after an illness of only five days, and the house of gladness is now made the abode of mourning. Only those who have suffered like affliction can realize how startling and heart-crushing will be the intelligence flashed with lightning speed to the fond father who waits, far across the plains, to hear from his loved ones.
Our warmest sympathies are extended to him and the other bereaved friends in this mysterious dispensation of Providence.
