MELVIN J. FURNESS

Little Mel, the two-year-old son, of Mr. and Mrs. F.A. Furness, died 
Thursday Feb 2, 1911 of Poliomyelitis. The little one was sick only about 
seven hours, the disease was very severe and nothing that medical skill or 
loving and tender hands had any tendency to alleviate the suffering of the 
afflicted one and to make the burden of the mother harder to bear, Mr. 
Furness was away at Omaha on business not knowing that the little one was 
even sick but on his return home in the evening he found that his little 
boy had passed away. After a short service at the house little Mel was 
laid to rest in the Magnet Cemetery.
