A pail OF gloom was cast over
Walhalla last Saturday night when
news OF the tragic death of William
| G. Werner, son of Mr. and Mrs
John D. Werner, was received here.
| But few people knew Of young Mr..
Verner's illness, and the news came
as a great shock to friends, though
! members Of the family had known
for several days that : is condition
was extremely serious. For some
months he had been in declining
health, suffering from nephritis,
and during the latter part Of
the past week his condition grew
steadily worse. His physician had
announced that he felt that his days
were few and held out but scant hope
OF Mr.. Verner's being benefited by
medical aid, but advised taking the
young man to Atlanta, hoping that
something might yet be done to stay
the steady progress of disease. Dur
ing several days prior to his death he
had had periods Of delirium, but on
Saturday his condition seemed bet
ter, and. accompanied by his bro
ther Jack and DR.. B. f. Sloan, he
started for Atlanta. The train was
nearing Cornelia, Ga, when Mr.. Ver-
ner was seized with another at
tack OF delirium, in. which he made
spring for the car window. He
was caught by his brother, but the
grip on his foot was too slight and
served only to, check the plunge. The
train was stopped and run back to
where the PROSTATE body lay, and
Mr.. Werner, unconscious but still
breathing, was taken into the train,
but died within a short time. Mr..
Werner was about % years Of age,
and had for some time been assist.

such clerical work as his health
would permit at short intervals, but
his condition grew worse so rapidly
that he had not attempted to attend
to any business matters after Mon
