Schroeder, Baby boy (Birth - 3 OCT 1905)

Tuesday afternoon a fine old white stork waded up the creek here and stalked up the main business street of town, weighted with a large basket; reaching the Edw. Schroeder home, he set his basket down and picking up the contents which appeared to be a bundle of eider down, he walked into the house and left it; reappearing directly he took his empty basket and soon disappeared.  He had left a beautiful baby boy weighing nearly 9 pounds at the Ed Schroeder home.  Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder are justly proud and happy over the event, and Grandma Babcock, who was at Neillsville, took the first train for here; had to see that boy.
