Jarl Family - John Theodore Jarl - page 9 - Obituary

I found this article on Newspapers.com, 14 August 2021. It was printed in The Dennison Review, dated 3 April 1918, Wednesday, Page 12. This article reads as:

     On last Wednesday morning John Theodore Jarl passed away at the family home five miles east of Kiron after a three days' illness. His death came unexpectedly, both to his parents and others. While quite a sick boy,  the sickness was not considered so serious. Being ill with pneumonia, leakage of the heart set in, which very quickly ended his life. The death was a keen blow to the family and his many friends, of whom many had never learned of his illness. The funeral took place from the home on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. E. Sundberg, pastor of the Free church at Kiron. A large number of his friends and neighbors of the family gathered to pay their last tribute to the young lad who had passed out from their midst. The short and impressive service will long be remembered by those present. After the service the procession formed and remains were taken to the Kiron cemetery, where burial was made. John Theodore was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albin Jarl and was born in Stockholm township on Sept. 29, 1904, and at this death had attained the age of 13 years, 5 months and 27 days. John was a quiet, unassuming young boy and had attached himself not alone with those in his home but with all his schoolmates. He leaves his sorrowing parents, one brother and five sisters and other relatives and friends to mourn and miss him. His place is vacant in the home, in the circle of his friends and in the Mission Sunday school at Boyer, of which John was an esteemed member. The sympathy of the entire locality goes out to the stricken family.
