  	"Death, which for weeks had been approaching steadily and relentlessly, came Saturday morning to Norman McKeown at his home in the south part of town....A normally healthy, happy young man who was making his way in life, he noticed a year or more ago a lump growing in his neck. He was busy, and put off a trip to the doctor. When he did go at last the physicians did not know what was wrong, and vital time was lost. At last, when it was too late, they announced that it was cancer. It was a bleak outlook, but Norman did not give up. Aided by a host of his friends here he went a few weeks ago to Mayo Brothers at Rochester, Minnesota. There he was examined and treated by the best specialists of the country, and they sent him home with renewed hope. But it was false hope. From the day of his return he declined steadily and rapidly."
