W.H. Wynn Jr., 12, Dying of Rabies in Raleigh Hospital, July 22, 1925

Youth is Dying from Mad Dog Bite. . . Boy Lies in Hospital in Raleigh, Slowly Dying as Result of Tragedy

Raleigh, July 18—After three days of intense suffering from hydrophobia, W.H. Wynne Jr., aged 12, appeared to be in a dying condition tonight, it was stated at the hospital where he was a patient. Hospital nurses stated that his death would not be a surprise should it occur at any time. He was described as “going very fast.” The lad was bitten about six weeks ago by a dog which showed no signs of rabies. Hence, he was not given the Pasteur treatment.
