Batsch, Son of Mr./Mrs. Herman (8 JAN 1917 - 15 JAN 1917)

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Batsch are mourning the death of one of their little twin boys born to them a week ago Monday.  Last Saturday one of the little fellows was taken ill and the otherwise childless parents were so greatly alarmed that a physician was immediately summoned.  The little fellow as apparently made well again, thus it was a great shock to all concerned when on Monday morning Mrs. Phillip Steinbach, a neighbor, after washing and rinsing one of the little fellows, went to the crib to take up the other one for a like operation, was shocked to find this, the largest of the twin boys, dead.  Mr. and Mrs. Batsch have been very unfortunate in the rearing of their children as these are the second pair of twins they have today, but one living child, the survivor of this last twin, now less than 2 weeks old.  The parents have the sympathy of the whole community in this their bereavement.
