SUDDEN END YOUNG MAN Rex Sappenfield, Age 19, Succumbs Following An Operation at The Methodist Hospital - A Popular Favorite With His Friends. A large circle of acquaintances was shocked this morning by news announcing that Rex Sappenfield, aged 19, a well known young man both in city and University society, had died during the night at the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis, following an operation for appendicitis. While he had been in the hospital since last Thursday, and in a very critical condition, but few knew that he was ill. He had been stricken a few days before at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Sappenfield, north Indiana avenue, and was taken at once to the hospital, where the operation followed as soon as possible. From the first his condition was alarming. Rex Sappenfield was one of the most promising and best known young men of the city and the most sincere sympathy goes out to those who are so bereaved. He was a graduated [sic] of the local high school in the class of 1926 and was editor with his brother Max of the annual Gothic for that year. For the following year he was winner of a scholarship to Indiana University, where he had completed his sophomore year this past semester. In the University he was active in journalistic work, serving on the editorial staff of the 1928 Arbutus, and having been appointed co-managing editor with his brother Max of next year's annual publication. During his University career he made a straight "A" record. The young man is survived by the parents, three brothers, Walter, of Columbus, Ohio; Roy, of Miami, Fla., and Max, a twin brother, and one sister, Alice Claire. Funeral services will be held at the First Christian church of which he was a member, Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. W. H. Newlin, of Crawfordsville, in charge. Interment will be at Rose Hill.

Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June 25, 1928, p. 8. DEATH CALLS DR. CHILDS End Comes at The Long Hospital at Indianapolis - Member of I. U. Faculty 15 Years: Funeral Services at The University The University community and citizens generally were shocked by the news received late Saturday that Dr. H. G. Childs, a member of the University faculty for the past 15 years, had died at the Long hospital in Indianapolis. He had been in ill health for some two years and had undergone one or two operations. The body was brought to the Allen funeral home where it remained until this morning. A brief service conducted by President Bryan at the Student Building auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning marked the final tribute of the students and faculty of Indiana University to their teacher and associate. From Bloomington the body of Dr. Childs was taken to Stillwater, Min., for burial. Mrs. Lottie Kirby accompanied Mrs. Childs in behalf of the University. Hubert Guy Childs was born in Mankata, Minnesota, December 14, 1872, and died at Indianapolis, June 23, 1928 aged 56. His boyhood days were spent at Mapleton, Minn., where he was graduated from hjgh school. In 1897, he was granted the B. S. degree by the University of Minnesota, and in 1911, he received the Master's degree from Leland Stanford university, and in 1918, the Doctor's degree from Columbia. In 1901 he was married to Laura Goff, at Wheaton, Minn., who survives him. The life of Dr. Childs is a record of labor and devotion to the cause of public education, a cause in which he achieved eminent success. Forced by illness to retire from active service as a member of the faculty of the Indiana University school of education two years ago, Dr. Childs continued to devote his energies to individual study and research, and to counsel and encouragement to those with whom he was associated. Following a period of service as superintendent of schools at Good Thunder, Wheaton, Slayton, and Medella, Minn., Dr. Childs became a member of the faculty of the University of Montana. From the Brooklyn Training School for teachers where he was professor of psychology, he came to Indiana University in 1913. Since that time he has been a member of the faculty of the school of education as professor of secondary education and director of supervised teaching. In addition to these duties, Dr. Childs has, for several years, served as chairman of the Indiana state committee on the commission of secondary schools of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools. Dr. Childs was affiliated with the Presbyterian church, was a Mason, and held membership in the National Educational Association, the national society for the study of education and in Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary educational fraternity.

So there was a photographer named Correa who endorsed that product; apparently the newspaper either misspelled his name or the copy is blurry enough that it looks as if it end in "n" rather than in "a."
