John Gilbert Attix, aged 81, /
the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
w. Attix, of Kenton, passed away
early Monday morning at his home on
Mt. Vernon street, Smyrna, after be-
ing seriously i'll two days. Mr.. Attix
had been suffering from a diabetic
condition for the past seven years,
and the direct cause of his sudden
death has been attributed to a COM
plication arising from this disease.
All efforts of physicians and special
lists proved of no avail. He was
graduate of the Wilmington Confer
ence Academy, and of the University
of Delaware. Since 1912, when Mr..
Attix completed his Civil Engineering
course at Delaware, he had been atfi-
lated with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company with headquarters at Phil
adelphia. While a student in school
and in college Mr.. Attix made hosts
of friends, and many more had been
added, both old and young, during his
short professional course. Always
cheerful, keen, and sound of Judge
ment, his personality and advice have
proved valuable in many channels. As
a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fra
ternity of the University of Delaware,
his active interest aided materially in
the welfare and progress of the local
chapter as we'll as of the University
itself. Ever loyal to family, friends
and high ideals and principles, his
loss will be keenly felt by all who
knew him. Mr.. Attix was married
