Death of
Gernie Neal - Davenport Times
Gernie, eldest son of Judge and
Mrs. C.H. Neal, died Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock , after a
severe illness extending over the past two or three months. His
indisposition began early in the spring and he had been steadily
growing worse ever since. He was taken to Spokane for treatment
when the nature of the disease (enlargement of the liver) became
fully known, and all that medical skill could do for him was
tried, though without avail. A few days since it was reported
that he was improving and his parents entertained the hope that
he was going to get well, but a relapse followed on Tuesday and
next day the young sufferer was dead.
Gernie was a bright, manly
little fellow, the pride of his family and beloved by his
playmates. His demise is a sad blow to his parents, so greatly
were they attached to him, and the whole community sympathizes
deeply with them. Funeral services were conducted at the
residence yesterday morning by Rev. T.H. Fertig, six lads,
companions of deceased, acting as pall-bearers. The remains
were then taken across the country to Sprague, to be buried
there beside those of a brother who died about two years ago.
