            Mr. and Mrs. H.B.B. Poppe are called to mourn the loss of their darling boy, Ralph Casper Poppe, aged three years, two months and twenty-one days.  The cause of death was measles, which afterward resulted in abscess and blood-poisoning.  He died Thursday, Jan. 29, and the remains enclosed in a beautiful white casket were conveyed to Scandinavia Saturday for burial beside his grand father, the late Casper Zwicky.  Services were held at the house before the departure, by Rev. E. Perry.  The services at Scandinavia were at the church by Rev. Gregorson.  Many friends deeply sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Poppe on the loss of their loved one.
