Year and a Half Old Boy Drowned in Water Tank at Montezuma, Kans.

Mountezuma [sic Montezuma], Kansas, May 19. — Another sad accident happened here a week ago today, when the little baby boy of a year and a half, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Giesbrecht, fell into the water tank and drowned. The grief and sadness of the parents was indeed great. The boy had crippled feet from birth but by the help of skilled physicians they were able to restore him to his normal form. This caused much happiness to the parents and also the boy. Just now when the bud was unfolding it was cut off and withered away. May god give comfort to the stricken hearts. Funeral services took place last Sunday.
