I was about to say that the clipping wasn't dated (and it's not), but I actually found the article on Ancestry and was able to put a date and newspaper with it. It was published in the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter on September 12th 1966 on page 8. I don't know where Robert belongs in our family tree, if indeed he belongs there at all. It may just have been clipped because they were a friend of the family (or parishioner) and the loss of a little baby touched them.
