Tesmer, Henry (3 JUL 1896 - 14 JUN 1908)

Died, at the home of his parents in the town of Colby, Clark Co., Wis., on Sunday, June 14th, 1908, of diphtheria, Henry, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Tesmer, aged 11 years, 11 months and 11 days.

Henry was born on the farm where he died, July 3rd, 1896, and was an exceptionally bright boy. He was taken sick with the dread disease on the Sunday previous to his death. The interment took place Tuesday from the house, Rev. G.W. Austin officiating. The entire community extends sympathy to this family.

Two other members of the family are sick with the same disease, but at time of going to press are reported to be improving.
