In a few minutes the baby was missed and they began looking for him and found him in the water tank. Two doctors rushed to the scene and everything was done to bring life to the little body, but found it impossible. The child was in the water only a few minutes.

Ora Kenneth Moore was born in Lyons county, Iowa, May 7, 1918, and passed away September 20, 1919. The body was brought here for burial.

A little bud was sent to us.
It filled our hearts with love,
But as it starts to bloom for us,
Our Father from above
Thought it would make a brighter star
And took it to the sky
Where it will shine and brighter grow,
Till we come, by and by.
