Oran, Mo--LITTLE MORDIE DYER, aged six years, died at the home of his parents Saturday Nov. 30 after an illness of twelve days.  Mordie was a child whom to know was to love, he was a favorite among his playmates and his bright happy little face always brought sunshine to those about him.  He will be missed from his place at school and we know that there is a vacant place left at the house that can never be filled.  Our hearts are filled with sympathy for those to whom Mordie was so dear, but words of human sympathy are insufficient at such an hour as this.  May He that doeth all things well bind up the broken cords.  The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Oran and the remains wee laid to rest in the Friend Cemetery.  --Scott County Citizen, Dec 6, 1907.
