Reno Evening Gazette, Feb. 12, 1923
Rennow's Body is Taken Home

  Lynne C. Rennow, twenty-three, senior at the University of Nevada and son of 

Mr. and Mrs. C.P. Rennow of Panaca, died Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock at a 

local hospital following a gallant fight for life for two weeks.  Death was 

due to an abcess of the brain and poisoning of the system due to the putting 

off of an operation needed for an infection to the middle ear until his 

condition became such that he had to rushed to the hospital for the surgical 

attention.

  Due to graduate in May and his great ambition to do so with high credits 

caused Rennow to put off the operation, he having announced that he would wait 

until after graduation and then go to the hospital.

  On January 26, he was stricken while on Mackey field and was carried to the 

university hospital, where he became unconscious and that evening was evening 

was moved to a local hospital and underwent an operation.  He rallied the next 

day but two days later began to have sinking spells and while he made a 

determined fight to get well and graduate, his system could not throw off the 

poison and his death resulted.

  Lynne C. Rennow was a native son of Nevada.  He was born at Panaca January 

21, 1900 and graduated with high honors from the Lincoln county high school 

and entered the university the following year taking up electrical 

engineering.  In the university he stood high in his studies, was a favorite 

among the students and was regarded as having a most promising future by his 

instructors and his death has caused a gloom to settle over the entire student 

body with whom he hed been actively associated for four years.

  His parents, who came to Reno when Lynne was taken to the hospital, left 

with the body last night for their home, where burial will take place.  A 

students' escort headed by President Walter E. Clark of the university 

accompanied the body to the train, among them being most of the student of 

Lincoln hall, where Lynne made his home while at the university.
