W.S. Kerr, 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kerr of San Jon, N. Mex., died Wednesday at the family home after a brief illness. During his short stay he made friends with adults as well as those his own age by a sweet disposition and consideration for others, and he was a devoted Christian.

W.S. Kerr was born Dec. 22, 1924, at Mobeetie, Texas, and died July 8, 1936, at San Jon, N.Mex., at the age of 11 years, six months and 16 days.

He is survived by his loving parents; three sisters and two brothers of San Jon; grandparents, Mr.and Mrs. C.C. Ruff, and children and one uncle, Walter Kerr, of Mobeetie; an aunt, Mrs. J.C. Moore, Jr., of Wheeler and a number of other relatives and a host of friends.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Mobeetie Thursday afternoon by Rev. John Morgan.

Interment was in the Wheeler cemetery beside his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S.B. Kerr, who passed away several years ago.
