    Sorrow was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Wedel, 1315 North Eleventh street, last evening when Harold, the eldest of their six children, died at 9 o'clock after about two weeks' illness from liver trouble which, with other complications, developed from influenza. The other children and Mrs. Wedel have all been sick, but are now improving except Bernice, whose condition shows little improvement.
    Harold was born at Glenwood, in 1908. When he was four years old the family moved to Niles.  He was a bright little fellow and popular with his schoolmates at the Eagle Street school.  Besides his parents he is survived by three sisters and two brothers, who are Wilhelmina, Gertrude, Walter, Bernice and George.
    The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the H.E. Price chapel.  Burial will be at Silver Brook cemetery.
