DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA
Will Lawton, a young man fifteen years of age, son of Mr. J. L. Lawton, who lives about two miles east of town, died Wednesday of hydrophobia, which developed from a bite he received about nine months ago. The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon at his father's residence, Rev. H. M. Shockley officiating, after which the remains were interred in Larned cemetery.
Hydrophobia is so named because it appears to be characterized by a fear of water. However, unlike other phobias, hydrophobia doesn't actually involved the usual psychological symptoms such as fear, anxiety, or panic. Instead, hydrophobia is symptomatic of the rabies infection. [1]
