LITTLE NORA BUXTON
DIES At BOISE

Nora Buxton, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Bux-
ton, died at the hospital in Boise
Tuesday afternoon of Haemophilia,
disease which, happily is a rare
one but one of the most discouraging
things a physician has to encounter.
1t is characterized by an excessive
tendency to spontaneous bleeding
rom very slight and sometimes in
appreciable causes. There is an ex-
cess Of red corpuscles with great di-
minuition of fibrine, the properly OF
the blood that causes it to clet, or
coagulate, and thus stop the bleed
ing.
The child had recently recovered
from an attack OF pneumonia which,
perhaps, contributed to the condition.
Friday evening she commenced bleed
ing at the nose and it was found
necessary to plug the anterior and
Dosterior mares Saturday morning. A
tooth that had a cavity in it com
menced to bleed. Recognizing the
dangerous malady. the child was TAX
IN to Boise to a hospi al by its
parents and the attend ng physician
IL order to prepare fer emergencies.
1t soon developed that the case
was fatal, for as soon as they ar
rived in Boise, symptoms Of internal
bleeding commenced and it seemed
that the system was leaking blood
in the various vital organs. Every
thing that could be done was under
taken to save the child, bat it was
without avail. She was apprised Of
the fact that death was near, and,
with fortitude becoming one Of more
advanced years, expressed no re-
gret. She was an exceptionally
bright child whose parents are
deeply grieved at her loss. Nora
was born at Cromwell. Iowa, Sep
tenber goth, 1904 and was eight
years, seven months and twenty-four
DAYS old. She said to papa and ma
ma. 'Tf die now III go to heaven
if I live to be a woman | might not
be a Christian" Realizing that death
was near she said good bye to ey-
erybody in this world that l know"
The body was taken to Cromwell,
Iowa. to be buried in the family Gem
etery. Funeral services were held
at the Christian church Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock.
