Jimmie Waning Taken Suddenly Ill

Alice Bates, James Waning, Arthur Bates - Dexter - about 1928

Eugene Register Guard
February 1, 1931

"Mr. Wanning(sic) who works here for the Booth-Kelly Lumber company, was called to Eugene Saturday when his son, Jimmie, who is well-known in Wendling, was taken to the Eugene hospital for an operation.  Jimmie was taken suddenly ill while at the family home in Dexter, and was rushed to the hospital in Eugene.  Mr. Wanning(sic) went down Saturday evening to be with the boy."

Any ideas about the illness - appendicitis perhaps?
