PERRY M. ALEXANDER

(July 17, 1905)

   Perry Millard, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Alexander, died Monday about midnight at Seymour, Conn, where he was with his parents on a visit.  He had seemed in his usual good health until a day or two before his death when he was taken with a stomach and bowel trouble.  A physician who was called did not consider the complaint serious, and his prescription being followed the child seemed better save for a condition of exhaustion attributed to the heat and his restlessness during the preceding night.  Late Monday night, however, when his sleep was apparently undisturbed the family became alarmed by his breathing and the doctor was immediately called.  Before he could reach the house the little fellow, without the slightest struggle or outcry, had ceased to breathe.  The doctor pronounced the cause of death angina pectoris with enteritis colitis as a contributing or preliminary cause.

   Perry was but a few days short of two years of age, and is survived by his parents and by one brother, Paul F.  He was a bright and promising child, and the sympathy of Mr. Alexander's associates on this paper is extended to the family in their bereavement.  The funeral was held here Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. D. Broughton officiating, and the burial was in Riverview cemetery.  The bearers were members of Mr. Alexander's class in St. Paul's Sunday school.
