Cholera Infantum Takes 19-Month-Old Oliver Barry Hoyle, July 22, 1922

Oliver Barry Hoyle

Oliver Barry Hoyle, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Hoyle, was born January 16th, 1921, and died July 22, 1922.

He was suddenly stricken with Cholera Infantum on July 12th. This was followed by meningitis, with which he suffered intensely until his death came Saturday morning, July 22nd.

Barry was a sweet child and was loved by all who knew him. He was the very life of the home and always had a smile for every one. He is sadly missed in his earthly home, but is welcomed to heaven by the angel band.

The little body was laid to rest at Hull’s Grove church yard to await the resurrection morning. God, in heaven, had need of him and took him to himself.
