Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, October 12, 1897, p. 1. LITTLE ONE GONE. Sad Death of the Little Son of Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Walker. Thursday's Daily gave an account of an operation performed on Orville Walker for membraneous [sic] croup, and at that time it was thought that the child might recover. However, about 5'oclock yesterday afternoon there were event signs that the little one was approaching death; physicians were summoned and everything possible was done to save the child, but of no avail, and the spirit took its flight about 8 o'clock. Orville was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George V. Walker, east 7th street, and about three days ago was taken with what soon developed into membraneous [sic] croup. As a last resort, and when death was at hand, an operation was performed Wednesday night by which a rubber tube was inserted into the throat. Rleief [sic] came, but the child was not able to stand such a delecate [sic] operation, and death was only delayed a few hours.
