the Cole’s Theatre, on Tuesday, to-
day only is a reverent portrayal of
One of the longest lines of auto-

the remains of Henry Grahmann Fri
day morning from the Sacred Heart
church to the Catholic cemetery, and
to pay him last respect as to a good
Chiistian and citizen, an examplary
father, husband and friend of all
who knew him.
Born in Bersenbruick Hanover,
Germany on July 9th, 1879, he came
at the age-of 6 with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Grahmann,
from Bremen after thtee weeks of
voyage to Galveston, by railway to
Schulenburg, then to Hallettsville,
where they had resided ever since.
But his mother enjoyed the new
home only one year; she di<=d in
1886. At the age of 18 he was
employed at the Lavaca Co. Oil Mill
and held the position seven years.
October 22nd, 1907 he was united
in marriage to Miss Magdalena
Schindler by Rev A. Heckmann at
the Sacred Heart Church now of
Castroville. They resided a year
near St. Many’s, then two years at
Kinkier and in 1910 they bought a
farm 3‘,4 miles southeast of Hallett-
sville. There they resided till his
death. In 1932 they celebrated the
silver aimivuiHury of their wedding.
They were blessed by 11 children, but
Helen Marie on March 2, 1929 died
at the age of almost 8 years.
Mr. Grahmann became ill at the
beginning of March from inflamed
appendix. After an operation at
the Renger Hospital he was con-
valescing nicely, when his heart sud-
denly gave way and he fell asleep
forever at 2:15 Thursday morning,
Mar. 15th, at the age of 54 yrs., 8
months and 6 days.
Well prepared for death, his body
wa8 taken Friday morning to the Sa
cied Heart church, where Requiem
High Mass was celebrated at 9:30
by Rev. A. Mathis, with Rev. G. Ku
ratko ns deacon and Rev. E. Kolod-

“Its Only Measles”
O 1 *
Although measles is considered a
childhood disease Jt is not necessary
for your child to have measles or
any of ^the other so-called childrens
diseases.
Measles is a dangerous and vety
contageous disease. The first sym-
ptoms are sneezing, running of the
nose and a slight dry cough. The
eyes look red and watery and the
light hurts them. It is during the
early period that others are most
liable to catch the disease. The
child ma'y appear to have only a cold
but the mother who sends her child
to school or allows him to play in
the street at this time is helping
to spread the disease to other child-
ren.
As soon ag your child shows the
first symptoms of measles, keep
him out of school, indoors in bed,
in an airy darkened room. Call
your doctor promptly; he will give
your child the proper treatment.
Keep other children away from the
sick child and sterilize by boiling or
placing in antiseptic solution all
dishes, bed linens and articles used
in the sick room.
Be careful of the child when he
is recovering. The after effects
aie often serious. He may develop
pneumonia and other diseases. The
kidneys may also he harmed and he
may develop chronic diseases in
later life. The eyes and ears
often become inflamed if not pro.
perly cared for, resulting in im-
paired or losg of sight and hearing.
Your child’s future health will de-
pend largely upon the care you give
him at this time.
The wise parent never dismisses
measles with, “Its only measles,"

middle cross is raised and Christ Cru

body of the Crucified One is borne
to the sepulchre where He is laid
