NUMBER 44 NEWPORT Died at the Minthorn Sanator ium, December 16, 1915, of i acute peritonitis, caused by the bursting of an abscess on the right side of the body, George Gurneo, aged 16 years, 7 months and 14 days. . The abscess was no doubt caused by playing foot ball. The abscess was the pri mary and the peritonitis the secondare -cause l7w 8 p secondary cause. e was op erated on Wednesday morning, but it was too late." : The opera tion was performed by Dr. Jessen of Toledo, assisted by Drs.

The members of the family all were present, the father, mother, two sisters and two brothers. George was a generous-hearted, ?1 Ue2 LPU a5 was a student in the High School a member of the High School singers. He also belonged to the basket and football teams and was- one of the best players. . He was one of the newsboys and his deep, musical voice could be heard every evening at the boat landing crying out for the Port land Daily Journal; his brother, "Skinny" at the same time sell ing the Oregoniau. These boys with their sisters did all they could to help their mother. Mies Harkelroad, his music teacher, said George had a most, magnificent bass voice and a large lung capacity to support it, and had he lived and received the proper training he would have made a great stager." He had a splendid physique and vas an athlete and one 0f the star ball players in the team. It is sad that so promising a boy should be caUed away so young.

The Newport Commercial Club, out of respect for the death of young Gurnee, postponod their annual i ball till Saturday evening. George was a member of the Episcopal Church and tried to live a Christian life. The words of the Master gives hope of fu ture life, "I am the Light of the World; I am the Alpha and Omega; I am the good Shepherd, I am the Door; I am the Way, Truth and the Life; I and my Father are One; no man cometh to me except by the Father; he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father and he that belleveth on me shall never die." George be lieved thl3 and some day we will see each other face to face and know each other, and there will be no more death and no-more sorrow In the beautiful city of God. "Settled Out of Courts a drama staged by the , Newport Dramatic Society Thursday evening at the Midway Theatre. Although the weather was bad a good audience greeted the hew troupe, which Is composed of home talent. Tho training was done by WIU E. Gwynn. Where all did well It would be invidious to make comparisons, but for dramatic effect and pose I think Dr. Berry and Mrs. Bid Boyle are entitled to the honors. Mrs. Boyle practiced her part a good deal at home. Ike Coflleld made a dramatic appearance on the stage. He did exceedingly well for an amateur, and if he con tinues to improve will make a star on the stage.
