JUNIOR HELLER

Junior HELLER, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman HELLER of St. Louis, was born May 30, 1926, and passed away February 11, 1931, at 11 p.m., in St. Louis, at the age of 4 years, 8 months and 11 days. Funeral services were held at the Boyer Chapel Friday, February 13, 1931, and interment was made in the Mitchell Cemetery.

The death of little Junior was a tragic one and was a shock to his many relatives and friends. On January 14 he procured some matches, unknown to the household, and in some manner set his clothing afire. He was taken to a hospital, but he was so badly burned that he died. He leaves many relatives in the lead belt to mourn his departure, among them his grandfather, L. E. Penberthy, of Route 1, Elvins.

The NEWS extends sympathy to the bereaved family.

Melanie,
I also have a copy of this obit. I note on my copy, the headline spells his last name as Helber, and then throughout the body of the obit it's spelled Heller. Do you know which is correct?
