CARROLL WARREN DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION.

Son of City Superintendent of Schools Victim of Appendicitis—Funeral To Be Held Sunday.

Carroll Francis Warren, 7 years of age, third son of city superintendent and Mrs. I. N. Warren, died at the Warren home on South Cullen street at 4 o’clpck Friday afternoon. The boy had been in perfect health until the Monday before his.death and had been in school that day. The Warren family physician diagnosed the case as appendicitis and decided an operation to be necessary. His condition became very severe Wednesday and a Chicago surgeon was called that night to perform the operation, which was done at about 12:30 o’clock that night. The surgeon expressed himself as con fident that death would ensue if the operation was not performed and that there was doubt concerning the success of the operation. When the incision was made in the side it was found that the appendix had ruptured and that gangrene had formed and this added to the seriousness of the case. A drainage tube was inserted into the wound and everything done for the little patient but of no avail. The death is the first in the Warren family. Carroll was the next to the youngest of four children—all boys. The loss is a very severe one to the parents and they are receiving the sympathy of all in the sad affletion. The funeral will be held at the family residence Sjunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.

Carroll was born during the time the resided at Fort Dodge, lowa. He was seven years of age on Aug. sth, 1910, and was a member of the second grade of the public schools.
