Floyd Christeson, son of E. C. and Bertha Christeson was born in Pondarey, Idaho, April 10, 1908 and departed this life in Dixon, Mo., Dec. 21, 1909 at 8:00 a.m. aged 1year, 8 months and 11 days.
On account of afflictions of his mother [and he being so young] she was unable to care fro him, so he was taken to his aunt’s in Mellville, Washington for a while, and from there brought to Dixon to his grandpa Christeson‘s for a few days. On the 29th of Oct. he went to live with his Uncle Frank and Aunt May Christeson.
Little Floyd had become attached to his Aunt May on the train as they came to Dixon; he loved her; there was an affinity to her from the time they met until the end came. He was taken sick on the 12th of this month. The disease baffled the physicians; they did all they could to relieve the little sufferer; but all in vain, they could not save the loved and restore the health again, although they did all they could, for he was a bright and promising child; but there comes a time when all human agencies fail, and death claims our loved ones, and we have to take the parting hand and lay them away in the silent.
He was patient in his afflictions, good to take his medicine, kind and affectionate, a loveable disposition, do what you wanted him to. He was loved by all who knew him, seemed to be a favorite among his acquaintances, and loved especially in the home where he passed away, and they could not have done more to save the dear one if he had been their own.

The funeral was conducted at the home of brother Frank Christeson , to a good number of relatives and friend s at 2:30 p.m. and then we laid his little body in the Dixon cemetery to await the resurrection morn. May God bless the father and mother [who could not be present], relatives and friends and may they also live as to meet him in heaven.
