LITTLE NORA BUXTON DIES AT BOISE

Nora Buxton, the eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Buxton, died at 
the hospital in Boise Tuesday afternoon of Hemophilia, a disease which, 
happily is a rare one but one of the most discouraging things a physician has 
to encounter. It is characterized by an excessive tendency to spontaneous 
bleeding from very slight and sometimes inappreciable causes. There is an 
excess of red corpuscles with great diminution of fibrine, the property of the 
blood that causes it to clot, or coagulate, and thus stop the bleeding.

The child had recently recovered from an attack of pneumonia which, perhaps, 
contributed to the condition. Friday evening she commenced bleeding at the 
nose and it was found necessary to plug the anterior and posterior nares 
Saturday morning. A tooth that had a cavity in it commenced to bleed. 
Recognizing the dangerous malady, the child was taken to Boise to a hospital 
by his parents and the attending physician in order to prepare for emergencies.

It soon developed that the case was fatal, for as soon as they arrived in 
Boise, symptoms of internal bleeding commenced and it seemed that the system 
was leaking blood in the various vital organs. Everything that could be done 
was undertaken to save the child, but it was without avail. She was apprised 
of the fact that death was near, and with fortitude becoming one of more 
advanced years, expressed no regret. She was an exceptionally bright child 
whose parents are deeply grieved at her loss. Nora was born at Cromwell, Iowa, 
September 20th, 1904 and was eight years, seven months and twenty-four days 
old. She said to papa and mama. "If I die now I'll go to heaven, If I live to 
be a woman I might not be a Christian." Realizing that death was near she 
said "good bye to everybody in this world that I know."

The body was taken to Cromwell, Iowa, to be buried in the family cemetery. 
Funeral services were held at the Christian church Wednesday afternoon at 3 
o'clock.
