Alvin was born on the family farm in Gibson. He appeared in the 1920 census with his family.
INJURY, BOY DEAD FROM BLOOD POISONING
Tetanus poisoning which developed five days after a slight accident which befell little Alvin Loeh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Loeh of Larrabee caused the boy’s death at the Holy Family hospital at 7 o’clock last night, lockjaw setting in. Death came as a release from terrible suffering in which the boy made a brave fight for life but was not strong enough to withstand the poison which filled his system.
A week ago Sunday, Alvin, who is but four years old—his birthday anniversary would have been celebrated next Sunday, June 11—played about the barn with his brother Erwin, aged two. Between them they managed to tip over a land drag, a folding contrivance of sharp spikes, used to rake the earth. In the fall one of the spikes only slightly
injured the boy’s foot. He ran to his mother with the hurt and had his foot bathed and the wound cared for. It was but a small puncture and not much attention was paid to it.
Saturday noon the boy became seriously ill and a physician was called. He pronounced the trouble blood poisoning. The disease developed swiftly and Sunday noon the lad was brought to the local hospital in a last desperate effort to save his life. But the poison had gained too great a hold and death came as a release from suffering last evening.
Besides his parents, three brothers, Norman, Henry and Erwin survive.
The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1 o’clock from the home.
