E. WAYNE SINCLAIR DIES
After a struggle against sickness extending a day over twelve weeks, E. Wayne Sinclair died Saturday at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Sinclair at the Park Hotel. It was on Thanksgiving day that he took sick and was at once taken to the Carroll hospital where he, was operated on to get relief from an attack of appendicitis. The operation was successful, but it soon developed that he was suffering with tuberculosis of the bowels. Other operations were performed but of no avail. About two weeks ago he was brought home where every medical skill and attention was given him, although there were practically no hopes of recovery.
E. Wayne Sinclair, son of L. E. Sinclair, of Council Bluffs, was born at Neola, Iowa, October 18, 1900, and was at the time of his death 16 years, 3 months and 29 days old. Ever since the death of his mother, when he was but a baby, he had made his home with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Sinclair. To them the shock of his death was a severe blow.
The young man entered the Manning High School last year, and proved himself to be a good student. He took an active, part in the social and athletic affairs of the school and was becoming popular not only with his classmates but with his teachers.
Sunday, when the body was taken to the train for shipment to Neola where burial was to take place, a number of the students of the high school gathered at the depot to pay their last respects of their departed friend and classmate.
Burial will take place beside the body of his beloved mother, Monday, at 9 o'clock.
The young man besides leaving a father, a half brother, a half sister and a stepmother, leaves his, grandparents to deeply sorrow over his early departure of his life. His suffering is over, and his life was such to entitle him a place with the chosen ones on high.
