From the Alton Democrat, July 5, 1924:

Little Boy Passes Away

Elmer A. Streff, aged 5 years and 10 months, passed away very suddenly on Monday morning, June 30th. The little lad’s heart failed when he suffered from a spell of sickness. He had never been a strong child and was troubled more or less with heart trouble. His death came, however, as a severe shock to the parents and family.

Rev. Brune was in Des Moines at the time and was notified by wire. The funeral was held from St. Mary’s church Wednesday morning. Those present from out of town were Chas. E. Hastert, Shelby, Neb.; Josie, Bernice and Clarence Arens, Lismore, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ginsbach, Dell Rapids, S.D.; Alice Birkle and Ida Hilger[?], David City, Neb.; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Schroeder, Oyens; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fiedler[?], Oyens; and Joe Streff of Flandreau, S.D.
