Leroy Anderson, the third son of
William and Ethel Anderson, of Park
avenue, neal Glen wood, died on
Monday, March "a, 1919, at $50 a. m.
in the Philadelphia hospital, aged two
years and nine months, after a sad and
unusual career. At the age OF eighteen
months he went under an operation at
the Wills eye hospital by a specialist
for a peculiar development in the left
eye known as a glioma. Four months
later q humorous growth developed in
the socket of the same eye. The sec
ond operation was performed by DIR.
b. Chance, who was at the time sta
toned at the army hospital in Cape
May. The result being uncertain,
close and frequent examinations were
made by a Philadelphia specialist.
Last August the growth developed
again and from that time until late in
January he was under professional care
OF DR.. VIM. Clark, at the Medical Art
building 18th end Walnut going nLA
der two serious electrical operations and
several X-ray treatments. During this
time no i'm Improvement was seen aud
finally he was semi home with the I'M
derstanding that there was no cure and
his time limited During all this Pc
riod he had not suffered, and in spite
of all he had gone through he had
grown TO be q fine child. He loved to
be out doors playing with other child
rem. He was a perfectly healthy child
in every way and had one big blue eye
that could see perfectly. After spend
ing four happy weeks at his home he
was taken to the Philadelphia hospital
under the care Of DR.. j. Doan. Six
weeks passed by and he constantly
grew weaker, never complaining and
always ready to play until the end
came. The cause of this terrible Attic
ton has never been ascertained, and
cases of this kind are rare. The father
of the child is president of the local
Painters Union. There are foul other
small children in the family who will
miss Leroy, as we'll as many friends
who have remembered him with
flowers and sympathy.
