Obituary - (son of Julius Folk):
The Joliet Weekly Sun, Joliet, Illinois, Vol. 8, No. 40, Page 1
One of the sadest events we have been called on to record for a long time, is that of the death of Harry, the remaining child of Dr. and Mrs. Folk.
Their bruised and sore hearts had not yet recovered from the great blow of the death of little Freddie, when they are called upon to sever all earthly ties with their boy Harry. Word are too weak to express the sorrow of these fond parents, or the depth of that of Jacob Henry, the grand parent, who on witnessing the light of life fade from the loved form, his grief became almost unbearable, walking the floor and ringing his hands, exclaiming, "all gone, left alone, take me too!"
We draw a reverential vail over the scene and shut out the cold world from sight, from these grief stricken people. It is a cross they must bear or break beneath the weight. Consolation seems like a mockery at this time. Still, peace will come, and the truth that God does reign will be still more indellibly engraved on the soul.Harry died Tuesday night about 8 o'clock. His age was about 11 years we believe. The funeral took place Thursday at 1 o'clock. Rev. A. H. Laing officiating.
