He was removed to the hospital and operated on inside of two hours. There was found a gangrenous and ruptured appendix with much inflammation of the bowels. His condition at present is very critical.

Death of Frank Cash.

Frank, the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cash, of 1015 Kickapoo street (sic), died at the hospital Thursday morning, April 25, at 1 o'clock, following an operation for appendicitis. He had only been ill since Sunday night and his death came as a severe shock to his family and friends. Besides his parents, he is survived by one sister, Miss Mary, and a brother, Robert. The funeral was held at the home Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock conducted by Rev. A.D. Brokaw, pastor of the Christian church (sic). Burial was made in the Mt. Hope cemetery (sic). There is universal sympathy at the passing of Frank Cash. It seems so sad that one so young and promising should be taken at the threshold of a career that promised to be interesting. Frank was not so well known as some of the boys of the town but he was a good, helpful boy and had in him the making of a fine machinist. He worked every day in his father's shop and at night operated a moving picture machine. He was industrious and of good habits and it seems too bad that he should be taken just as he was entering on a useful career. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community.
