STEVEN MICHEAL [sic MICHAEL] UNRUH

Steven Micheal [sic Michael] Unruh, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Olin Unruh, was born at Falfurrias, Texas, on Feb. 26, 1951.

His stay on this earth was very brief — three years, ten months and 10 days. God took him Home on Wednesday, Jan. 5, at 3:50 p.m.

Steven enjoyed fair physical health during his short life, except for being susceptible to most infant diseases [line duplicated in original]. On Tuesday Jan. 4, he became ill and was immediately committed to the Galena Park hospital. Here his illness was diagnosed as double pneumonia which also brought on his premature death.

He is survived by his parents; one brother, Spencer DeWight of the home in Conroe, Texas; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Ida Jantz of Meno, Okla; his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Unruh of Meno; his paternal great-grandfather, Ben Unruh, also of Meno; and many uncles aunts and cousins.

Though his life was short, he endeared himself very much to those who were close to him. We have complete confidence that God has done that which He thought wise, for His ways are higher and better than ours.
