Date : 21 Aug 1908
Location : St. Mary's Cemetery, Rock Valley, IA
Llttle Norbert Schemmer, the nine months old child of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Schemmer, died Wednesday morning. The little one had been seriously ill only a short time, but he was never very strong.
He was not at all well all day Tuesday and on Tuesday evening he was taken with spasms from which he died in the early hours of the following morning.
Norbert Schemmer was born October 30. 1907 and died at 12:40 o'clock Wednesday morning.
While it is sad to lose the little ones there is comfort in the thought that they have found their heavenly reward in the purest innocence of childhood.
Mr. and Mrs. Schemmer have the sympathy of the entire community in their time of sorrow. Funeral services will be held today from St. Mary's Catholic church.
