STROUP CHILD DIED
William C., son of Mr. and Mrs. Streater Stroup, died about 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, of acute meningitis, after a very brief illness, at the age of 4 years, 11 months and 13 days.
It was at first rumored that the cause of the child's death was infantile paralysis, and to settle the question in the public interest Dr. Almond, state chemist was brought here from Boise. He made an autopsy yesterday and pronounced the ailment acute meningitis. He said there was no danger to the other members of the family and thus allayed a fear that was spreading over the community.
Funeral services were held at the family home in Washoe this afternoon at 1:30 and were conducted by Rev. Charles Dick, pastor of the Christian church; and interment took place at Riverside cemetery.
