Theodore Rosenkirch, the 10 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Rosenkirch died this morning at 8:30 of blood poisoning after a week of suffering. The trouble was caused by a new shoe rubbing his heel and he was in such a serious condition before medical aid was secured that it was impossible to check its progress. Dr. Nash, assisted by Drs. Juen and Lynch of Ossian, worked heroically over the case but it was of no avail.
