MIDDLE CREEK
OBITUARYAfter five long months of intense but patient suffering of a disease that baffled the best of medical skill, Leo, youngest child of R. M. and Almeda Kimbrough, peacefully fell asleep, Wednesday, Feb. 1st. Leo was a cheerful and unselfish boy, taking sunshine with him wherever he went and will be sadly missed in this community where he has always lived. Besides father and mother he leaves one brother, Dennis; one sister, Mrs. Flora Lane and an adopted sister, Mrs. Emma Reuck, all of this place. The funeral was conducted at the home, Friday at 11 a.m. by Elder Frazee, of Bentley, whose words were comforting to the bereaved relatives and friends. Burial at Holland cemetery. Leo's memory will be always cherished by those who knew and loved him, whose death has brought deep sorrow to many hearts. Mr. Kimbrough is real poorly at present, he is under the doctor's care.
