Earl Clark Loses In Brave Fight Against Disease

Earl Clark, 18, son of Mr.and Mrs. James Clark, 507 Main street, lost in his brave fight against an insidious disease which baffled medical skill of several physicians, and died yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in St. Joseph hospital in South Bend, where he was taken last Friday for an examination by a specialist. He had steadily failed since he became alarmingly ill two weeks ago, and was taken to the hospital when attending physicians could no longer offer the family hope for his recovery. At the hospital his malady was diagnosed as tubercular spinal meningitis.

Earl Henry Clark was born in Buchanan January 27, 1908. The family moved to Niles from a farm in the bend of the river four years ago, and Earl continued his studies in the Niles high school completing his course and having been graduated with the class of '25. Throughout his high school career he made excellent grades in scholarship, and was particularly active in high school athletic affairs. During his last year in the high school he won the Blackmond cup as the best individual basketball player of that year, and the most valuable member of the team. He was regarded as tthe best end man in football in the high school for several years.  He had won a number of letters and had been otherwise recognized for his athletic prowess.  In view of his excellent physical condition before he became ill about two months (continued on Page 4) ago and was forced to give up work, his death comes with a shock to the family and the wide circle of young people in the city by whom he was highly regarded. The sympathy of many is extended to the family in their sorrow.

Besides his parents, Earl is survived by a brother, Gordon, and a sister Myrl, both at home.

The young man was a member of the Niles chapter of DeMolay, and his is the first death in the Niles chapter.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon in Presbyterian church and will be under the auspices of the DeMolay society, with Rev. Staver, of Buchanan, as the officiating minister. Burial will take place in Silver rook cemetery.
