A sudden death
the sudden and untimely death of Emmet Hutton, which occurred at the camping ground near the bridge across the Chikaskia, east of town, last Sunday afternoon, has been the cause of much comment in this city for the past few days.
The facts as gathered by a times record reporter are as follows:
the deceased was making an overland trip from Fort Worth, Texas to Howard Kansas, in company with his mother, sister and stepfather.(H. Miller) and had been feeling indisposed for a few days previous to their arrival here, but nothing serious, was thought to be the matter. Upon reaching this city, he called upon a local physician who prescribed for himself and sister, and it was decided by the parents that they would go into camp and until the young people should feel better. On Sunday morning, the young lady was much improved in health, while no improvement was noticeable in the condition of the boy and later in the day he was taken with the congestive chill, which caused his death. All that human hands or medical assistance could do, was rendered by parents and attending physicians but to no avail. The remains were taken to Howard Kansas for burial, via Kildare, Sunday evening. Deceased with 18 years of age; a youth of exceptionally bright prospects, and the idol of his mother, whose grief over his sudden departure was pitiful to behold.
