LAS VEGAS AGE
9/11/1911

DIED

HEPNER:  In this city, Friday morning, November 10, 1911, Clarence 
HEPNER, a resident of Las Vegas, aged 20 years.
    The circumstances attending the death of the young man were unusual. 
 He had been troubled with a swelling of the throat for some time which 
occasioned him considerable pain.  He spent considerable time in the 
railroad hospital in Los Angeles without obtaining any relief and 
after, returning to Vegas arranged, with Drs. CLARK and MARTIN to be 
operated upon Friday morning.  He was in good spirits Thursday night and 
after spending a portion of the evening about town went to the hospital 
and went to bed.  The nurse in charge making the rounds looked into the 
room at midnight and again at 1:00 and at 4:00 a.m. and found the 
patient peacefully sleeping.  At five o'clock she again visited the room 
and found the young man dead.  The swelling had broken while he was 
sleeping and he had choked to death without waking.
    The deceased was a nephew of Mrs. TATE and Mrs. Roy GOODWIN, of this 
city.  The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Saturday 
afternoon, Rev. E. A. PALMER officiating.
