Stonewall Jackson Jr., 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Jack Casey, resident of the Daniels Chapel section of New Home township, died about 9:30 o’clock last night as the result of paralysis caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in his head. Although final arrangements for the funeral service had not been completed at a late hour last night, it is understood they will be held from the home at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
The little boy was taken ill Sunday night while playing with his brother and two sisters. He complained of a severe pain in his head and became unconscious before he could be put to bed. Drs. R.B. Miller and W.H. Cobb were summoned, and did everything possible to save the child’s life, but their efforts were in vain.
Mr. and Mrs. Casey will have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement which comes as distinct shock to the entire community.
