The L'Anse Sentinel
Saturday, 10 April, 1909

         Sunday evening WILLIE, the popular and greatly beloved
       little son of Mr. and Mrs. FRED MATTSON, passed to his
       eternal reward, after a period of illness lasting for
       nearly two years.
       
         Death was due to tuberculosis of the hip joint, treat-
       ment for which he had been receiving for a long time.
       About two years ago he was stricken and for nine weeks
       was confined to the hospital at Ann Arbor, but returned
       without success. Since this time he has gradually de-
       clined in health until the day above stated when death
       relieved him from the anguish.
       
         The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the M.E.
       church, Rev. Ernest Brown, officiating and was attended
       by about fifty of the children of his school and Sunday
       school classes, as well as many friends and neighbors
       of the bereaved parents. Music for the funeral service
       was rendered by two of the girls' classes of the Sunday
       School and added greatly to the solemnity of the occasion.
       Interment took place in Baraga cemetery. The sympathy of
       the entire community is with the parents.
       
       Transcriber's Note: Carl William Mattson was 13 years
       old at the time of his death.
