Willie Stowell, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ezra Stowell, died suddenly at the family
home on Frederick street last evening
at about 8:30. Willie had been to
school as usual and was playing in the
yard with other children when he was
seen by them to kick and struggle some
as he lay on the ground with his head
on a walk. He then remained quiet
and when called he did not respond.
After a short time his brother Ed went
out to see if anything was the trouble.
The boy was limp and lifeless. He
was brought immediately into the
house and Dr. Robinson summoned who
found that Willie was dead from heart
failure. It was terribly sudden, and
a sad shock to the family who have the
sympathy of the people in their sudden
bereavement. The funeral will occur
from the residence tomorrow afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, Willie Stowell was
born in Arlington nine years ago last
March, but the family have resided in
this city for several years. He attended
school at the Harlan building being
in the second grade of Miss Clarke's
room.
