Onaga Herald February 18, 1892
Mrs. Chas. McKee, daughter of Mr. Ellsberry Eytchison, returned from Idaho a few days ago bringing with her two little brothers. Our readers will remember that their mother died over a year ago.
The little boy Frank, who is ten years of age, is totally blind, the result of the grippe. He is a bright and gentlemanly little fellow, and it is sad to think his life may be spent in total blindness. The boys are at their uncle's, Mr. S. A. Eytchison's and will soon be joined by their father. The best physicians will be consulted as to the possible restoration of the boy's sight.

Died at the institute for the blind at Kansas City, Kans., March 14, 1899, after a brief illness, at the age of 17 years, 7 months and 3 days. He was born in Pottawatomie county, August 11, 1881, and lived here until at the age of seven years, when he went to Idaho with his parents. While there he took seriously ill with the la grippe, from which he was stricken with blindness. He returned to this county in 1890, after the death of his mother. In 1893 he went to Kansas City, where he entered the institute for the blind and remained until his death. He was converted in Nemaha county three years ago and has been a devout Christian. He was an intelligent young man and was very popular among his school mates. The remains were embalmed and shipped to this city, last Thursday, and received by relatives and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bellwood, where many friends of the deceased viewed his remains. Funeral services were held in the M. E. church conducted by Rev. W. C. Haire, last Friday at 11 o'clock, a. m. The remains were interred in the Onaga cemetery. His father, one sister and four brothers survived him to mourn his death. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community during their hours of bereavement.
