SPENCER CORSE
(From Sanay Creek items In Watertown Times of Friday, October 14)
Spencer Corse, the 15-year-old son of Frank Dudley Corse of this place, died Thursday afternoon.
The boy was taken ill the first week in August, and acute g eneral peritonitis developed. Dr. L.F. Hollis, the attending physician, realized t he seriousness of his condition, and a trained nurse was immediately placed in charge. After a few weeks the disease yielded to treatment, but the boy did not gain strength as the doctors thought he ought. Other physicians were called in consultation and everything possible done for the lad. At times he would improve materially and hope was entertained for his recovery and then other unsatisfactory symptoms developed. Thus he lived for weeks, hovering between life and death, his mind exceptionally clear and strong. Every precaution was taken to harbor his strength and sustain his vitality, but he seemed unable to gain at all and gradually wasted away. Wednesday was a poor day for him and the end came at 1:30 Thursday.
A strange coincidence is that his father and mother were married 23 years ago today.
His mother was Ella Nichols, the youngest daughter of John Nichols.
Spencer was a very bright and energetic boy, a good student in school and a general favorite among the young people. The fact that his mother died when Spencer was born made the tie between father and son especially strong, and the sympathy of all is extended to the family.
