Student Dies From Excessive Study

Charles Ripperton, a student for some time at the high school in this city, died
at the residence of his parents in Brandon township, last Wednesday. Excessive
study is supposed to have caused his death, the physicians not being able to
assign any other reason. For several days prior to his death his brain was
insensible to outside impressions, although all his other physical faculties
seemed healthy. Charlie was an exceptionally good boy, having none of the bad
habits common to youth, and was held in high regard by all his classmates, many
of whom attended his funeral in the Mt. Hope Cemetery.
