Eugene, the youngest brother of Charles Moore of Milligan,
died at Union Hospital at Terre Haute on Friday. He wounded
himself slightly in the palm of the left hand on the 4th with a
blank cartridge. The wound was dressed by a Rockville physician,
who advised tetanus antitoxin but the boy did not want it used.
The wound gave no trouble until on Thursday he complained of
aching all over and when he went to dinner his jaws set. He was
taken to Rockville where tetanus anti-toxin was administered but
as he grew worse he was taken to Terre Haute where he died as
noted. He was the youngest of a large family and it was the first
break in the family circle. He would have been a freshman in high
school this year. Dr. and Mrs. Noblitt attended the funeral at
Bellmore. - transcribed by kbz
