YOUNG WALKER PASSES AWAY

James Vernon Walker, aged about 15 years, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 
Walker, died at the home of his parents on Seventh Avenue North, Wednesday 
afternoon, after a painful illness of about six weeks. The funeral will take 
place at 2:30 this afternoon from the Methodist church, the pastor, Dr. G. W. 
Barnes, officiating.

The peculiar circumstance connected with this boy's death is the fact that 
about six weeks ago, while chewing a kernel of dry corn he laughed at some 
amusing remark and sucked a particle of the corn into his left lung, from the 
effects of which he coughed more or less, but suffered no particular pain 
until about two weeks later when he was taken down with a pain in his lung and 
continued to decline in spite of medical treatment and the most careful 
nursing. Drs. Woodward and Woodward, who had the case in charge, sought to 
relieve the patient's suffering by an operation in which portions of ribs were 
removed on each side of the lung, but without success, as gangrene had set in 
and the case was found to be hopeless.
