Obituary:
A very sad death was that of Dennis Carney which occurred at his home on State Street on Monday morning, he having been sick about twenty-four hours. Dennis was in his usual good health on Saturday and worked all day. He attended the show at the opera house in the evening and went to bed as well as usual after returning from the same. About two o'clock on Sunday morning he complained to his brother who roomed with him of distressing pains in the region of his bowels and later, the pains continuing, his mother was awakened. The usual remedies were applied but they were ineffectual and Dr. Bolton was sent for who pronounced the patient in a serious condition, suffering from an obstruction of the bowels. Dr. Greengo was called in consultation and it wa decided to have an operation, that being the only chance to prolong the boy's life. Dr. W C F Witte of Milwaukee was sent for and arrived on the Monday morning train. However the young man's condition was such that nothing could be done for him and he passed away as above stated.
Dennis Carney, who was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. James Carney, was born in Chilton town, July 6, 1892, and was therefore eighteen years of age at the time of his death. Further than this there is little record for his young life had scarce begun when he was called away by his maker. He was a light hearted, cheerful boy, companionable and accommodating and had many friends among the young and the old who will miss his pleasant smile and greeting.
He is survived by his parents, two brothers, John of Menlopark, California and Will at home and two sisters, Mary and Lizzie, to whom universal sympathy is extended in their sudden bereavement.
