Death of a Young Man 

Cornelius Morris, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Morris of 
Cambria Township, died at the home of his parents, about two miles 
southwest of Ebensburg last Saturday after an illness of some months.

Several months ago Cornelius Morris was afflicted with a disease which 
began in his foot and paralyzed the great toe.  The progress of the 
disease could not be arrested and the paralysis continued to spread. Local 
physicians recommended that the young man be taken to specialists in 
Philadelphia.  This was done and it was discovered that a clot of blood 
had formed and was bearing down on the brain.  Some temporary relief was 
given but the nature of the operation necessary for the removal of the 
obstruction was such as to render the same fatal.

The boy is survived by his parents and several brothers and sisters.  The 
funeral took place from the Holy Name Catholic Church on Tuesday morning 
with interment in the new Catholic cemetery.  The funeral was attended by 
the Holy Name Sodality in a body, of which the young man was a member.
