Obit for James ( Jimmie) Atkinson
 
From the Elma Chronicle:
The community in general was shocked and grieved to learn of the sudden death
of a little son of Mr. Atkinson.  The child was sick only a few days, and it
was thought best by the attending physician in attendance to be kept entirely
quite, consequently the parents were alone.  Tis hard enough to bear at any
time, but the circumstances surrounding this case makes it doubly hard. They
have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
 

DIED-- June 10,1902, of Diptheria, James, son of C.W. and Annie Atkinson, aged
nearly 9 years.   The deceased was born in Menominee, Wisconsin and came to
Washington with his parents, but a short time ago.  The exercises at the grave
were conducted by Rev. J.M. Weaver, in the Odd fellows Cemetery. The bereaved
parents have the sympathies of the entire community.
