The Alaska Citizen May 8, 1911
After suffering for two weeks from appendicitis, Earle Shinkle, the 11-year 
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Shinkle died on Saturday afternoon at 4:45.  His 
life had been despaired of throughout the day and his father and mother where 
at the bedside when their son passed away at St. Joseph's hospital.

An operation had been performed on Wednesday morning and it was hoped that it 
had been successful, but other abscesses formed and the boy gradually sank 
after one of them had broken and caused septic poisoning.

Earl Shinkle was a real Alaskan, having been born in Skagway eleven years 
ago.  He was dearly loved by his playmates and his loss is sincerely mourned 
throughout the camp.  It is probable that the interment will take place in 
Seattle, where the Shinkles have a home.
