Another cut short

 

Illinois State Register. 9 Mar 1909.

I don't think I've run across this article before. The clipping above appeared as a hint on FamilySearch, and directed me to this article on GenealogyBank. I knew my great-grandfather Harry O'Brien had a younger brother who died young, but I'm not sure I was familiar with the details described in the article. Like Harry's older sister Anna, who died young from an infection due to blood poisoning, Guy O'Brien died just short of 20 after catching typhoid-pneumonia, perhaps brought on from working in a mine.
