Son Walter's obituary:

Watkins Democrat
Watkins, Schuyler County, New York.
Thursday, June 23, 1904

Died, at Belleville, N. Y., June 17, 1904, of cerebral meningitis, Walter L. Brooks, son of Willis H. Brooks, and a grandson of Rev. C. W. Brooks of Watkins, aged six years, one month and twenty eight days. The disease was brought on by the effect of blows from a base ball, the little fellow being hit twice in the forehead, once on the 20th and again on the 21st of May. The remains were brought here Tuesday and buried in Glenwood Cemetery. He was a bright, active boy, full of life and spirits, and his death from such a cause is peculiarly distressing.
