Riedel, Leland (MAY 1917 - 26 AUG 1917)

Leland Riedel, the 3-month-old son of Emil and Elizabeth Riedel, died at the Marshfield Hospital Sunday night. The little one, always frail, suffered from a foreign growth on his spine, and underwent an operation at the hospital two weeks ago in hopes of prolonging his life and easing his sufferings, but all to no avail. He died in convulsions. The funeral was held from the German Lutheran Church with Rev. Reiff officiating, Tuesday afternoon and the little body laid to rest in the church cemetery. Baby Riedel is survived by his parents, one brother Clarence and one sister, and his death is a sad blow to them.
