Kates little boy Leon was killed by a train in the afternoon at

Milaca. His head was cut off. Also his leg and arm and

otherwise mangled. Poor little boy how little I thought that

when he started home a few weeks ago that it would be the

last we would ever see of him again. I can see his little form

yet as he walked by the Rail Road beside his aunt Mary with

his little straw hat set back on his head. And he tripped along

so quick and spry and was so happy. Oh! it is so hard for

Dear Kate and Frank their only boy. But such is life, death is

always near and we never know when it cometh. I hope he is

forever happy and that in time to come we will be a reunited

family in heaven.
