DEATH OF WILBUR HOLLENBECK. Jordan Gazette, 22Apr1915
Little Wilbur Hollenbeck, the 5 year old son of
Mrs. Carrie Curtis, died early Wednesday morning, April 21st, after an illness
of about a month with typhoid fever. The little fellow was stricken with this
malady at the home of William Broughton on Vail Creek and at first his
condition was not considered serious, but about two weeks ago he was brought to
Jordan to be near a physician. But the disease was so far advanced that not
withstanding the fact that excellent nursing and all the care that loving hands
could administer to the little boy, he gradually grew weaker and weaker until
death relieved his sufferings. His death was not entirely unexpected, as it
had been realized for several days that his chances of recovery were rather
doubtful.
Funeral services were held at the schoolhouse this (Thursday) afternoon at
2:30 o'clock, being conducted by the Rev. W. W. Landis, after which burial took
place in the Jordan Cemetery. The pallbearers were Danny Tierney, Clifford
Johnson, Carl Willman and Fridtjof Nergaard.
The sorrowing mother is extended the heartfelt sympathy of everyone in the
community in her sad bereavement.
