SON OF PRESIDENT
COOLIDGE DIES
Death Comes From Blood Poisoning
Caused By Blister on FOOt-Was
Is Years of Age.


Washington, July Calvin Cool
idge Jr., son of the president, died
tonight at Walter Reed hospital Of
blood poisoning.
President and Mrs. Coolidge, who
had maintained constant vigil at the
hospital, were at his bedside, hopeful
and cheering and comforting their
son to the last.
A sinking spell, the fourth he had
suffered in "a hours, brought DEATH
Notwithstanding the use of oxygen
and other restoratives, the courage
which had withstOOd crisis after crisis
and had beaten death off repeatedly,
was unable te meet the attack. The
collapse began at 6:30 o'clock and he
gradually sank into eternity. He
died at 1920 o'clock
Young Calvin was removed to the
hospital Saturday and an operation
on the same night revealed infamma-
tion of the bone marrow of the left
leg, where the infection first localized
in part. A slight gain followed, but
on Saturday night his condition grew
SO serious that blood TRANSMISSION and
oxygen Administrations were resort
ed to.
Three sinking spells Sunday night
brought him to the point of death A
slight rally Monday gave slight hope,
but soon thereafter he began again
to lose ground and he never rallied
again.
The infection developed from a
broken blister on the right foot sus-
tanned during a tennis match with
his brother, John, on the White House
courts last Monday. At first paying
no attention to it, the youth develop
ed an alarming condition by Wednes-
day night and physicians were sum-
mOned. The poison, however, once
started had spread so rapidly that
medical skill was without avail. A
number of specialists were called to
act with White House physicians on
the case and a desperate fight fer
life was made by the boy, who strug-
gled in great pain and with high
fever.
The end came after the boy had
battled with the utmost bravery and
fortitude for five days against dis
ease which had racked his body with
pain and sapped the reserve strength
of his frail constitution.

MRS. HARRY GODFREY
PASSES AWAY
Well Known Lady of the East Plen-
tywOOd Country Dies at Sheridan
County Memorial Hospital July 9Th.

Last Sunday July 9th, the whole
community was shocked to hear of
the death of Mrs Harry Godfrey.
who lives east of PlentywOod. The
middle-aged lady died at the Memoir
lal hospital in this city following an
operation performed by the local doc
tors and the end came so suddenly
that very few of her neighbors real
lied that she was i'll, until informed
of her sudden death.
Elizabeth Legget Godfrey was born
IN Ireland in 1880. She came to
America in 1911, settling at Brandon.
Manitoba, Canada. 1t was there that
she met Harry F. Godfrey whom she
married year later, Mr.. and Mrs.
Godfrey coming to Plentywood Mont
Immediately following their marriage,
and taking up a homestead upon
which they lived at the time of the
unfortunate lady's death. To this
union was born one child, son,
Ralph, who died at the age of two
mOnh. On July 6, 1924 at the local
hospital she passed on to that better
country to be reunited with this son.
The only remaining relatives are her
husband, Harry F.. Godfrey and a
brother William Leggett of Greencch,
Scotland.
From earliest youth, Mrs. Godfrey
has been a devout Christian and a
loving wife and comrade. Perhaps
there are few who have come to this
western country who have remained
so faithful to God and religion as did
she. Her good life came to a beau
tiful close and a fitting climax when
in calmness and peace and with al
smile she passed on to her reward.
She was buried from the Plenty
wood Congregational church at 200
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, July 9Th.

Mr.. Thompson claims that if the rail
road had put its track where it had
promised it would have been 100 feet
further north and around a knoll
which would have given him an op-
pOrtunity to run his irrigation ditch !
