Death of Prominent Young Man.
Mr. Ervin Hairston, whose critical illness was noted in a recent issue of this paper, died last Monday morning at three o'clock at the McKinley Sanatorium on Main street, where he was carried about two weeks ago suffering from a malignant attack of typhoid fever. Mr. Hairston was ill two weeks at the home of his father, Mr. Geo. W. Hairston, at Crawford, before he was brought to this city, and the change came too late to benefit him, his death resulting at the hour above stated.
Mr. Hairston's death is particularly sad. coming as it did when he had just attained the majesty of manhood, he being in his twenty-first year. He was a son of Mr. George Hairston of Crawford, and he leaves a large circle of friends and devoted relatives to mourn his untimely demise. He was most exemplary and promising young man, and his death cut short a career which promised great service and usefulness in this life.
The body was carried to the Jennings burial ground at Bethel church in the prairie last Monday morning, the interment occurring on Monday afternoon. A large concourse of sorrowing friends attended the sad obsequies. The Dispatch tenders its sympathies in the sorrow which has come to the family, these relatives and friends.
