Moffitt of Davenport, this state, passed away yesterday morning at one of the city hospitals, from the after effects of appendicitis. “The boy was operated on a few weeks ago in this city for appendicitis and apparently recovered and went back home. A few days ago he began to complain about pains in his side and he could not eat. He was brought to the city a few days ago and it is stated that his death was caused by adhesion. He was a bright boy and was a student at the school at his home and a general favorite with all who knew him. His father arrived in the city last evening and the body was prepared for burial by Undertaker Daugherty and will be taken to Davenport this morning.”
