(This obituary does say that Mrs. Nice was born in 1885 which as you
can see is obviously wrong.
This is a different obituary than the one donated by Pearl. - Janine)
Winfield, the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Nice, died in a Baker hospital Wednesday night. The cause of death is given as summer complaint. Funeral services were held Friday and burial was made in the city cemetery.
