text of obituary:
Daniel J. and David A., twin sons of Rev. Herbert E. and Nancy (Evers) Widmer were born at Chicago, Ill., April 16, 1931; died July 29, 1933, near their home at Albany, Ore. at the age of 2 years, 3 months and 13 days. The brief period of life was one which brought great joy to the hearts of those nearest to them. Just beginning to manifest a great interest in their surroundings, they were normal little boys in that they were very active and appreciative of that which loving hands sought to do for them. Death came suddenly when they, as though answering a call, left the side of their father walking together down the country road and into the path of an oncoming train.
They leave to mourn father and mother, one sister Grace Evelyn, one brother Nathan Wayne, grandparents and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the Grace Mennonite Church of Albany on July 31. The Brethern [sic] N. A. Lind, J. M. Franz and W. Harley King took part in the service. Texts used were Job. 1:21; Rom. 8:28.
