Death from Blood Poison

Edwin Sisk, the 9-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Walker Sis, of Elk township, died Sunday night, the cause of his death being blood poison. About a week before the boy had stepped on a rusty nail which penetrated his foot. Soon afterwards the injured member commenced to swell and gave him great pain. Medical attendance was at once secured, but blood poison had set in and nothing could be done for the little sufferer and death came to his relief Sunday night about six o'clock.

Funeral services were held on Monday. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved parents by neighbors and friends.
