DISHAROON IS DEAD ---------------------------- Irving DISHAROON, the 14-year-old son of Dr. H. B. DISHAROON, died at noon Saturday [19 June 1915] in a hospital in Atlanta, where he had been taken some weeks ago in an effort to baffle the encroachment of a fatal disease. Both Dr. and Mrs. DISHAROON were with the manly little fellow when the end came. The remains, escorted by the parents and several friends, arrived in Roanoke Sunday at 12:50. A large party had gathered at the station to offer sympathy and help and to accompany the sorrowing ones to their home, where the remains rested till 4 o’clock Monday afternoon. At that hour a large congregation assembled at the Baptist church, where many beautiful floral offerings had been placed. The school mates of the departed were present in rank before the church as a mark of respect. The services, which were very touching, were conducted by the pastor [Rev. J. W. RUCKER]. This untimely death, following so soon upon the demise of a little girl in a neighboring family, evoked much sympathy, which was manifested in many beautiful expressions. Irving was a much admired child, and his modest life, though now gone out, will leave a hallowed radiance in many hearts that will abide beyond the twilight where time and eternity meet.
