Ernest Amick Died After A Brief Illness
Ernest Amick, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Amick of South State street, died last evening at 6:30 o'clock at the DuBois hospital, as the result of an attack of purpura haemorrhagica, a disease that is rather uncommon and only a very few cases have been known heretofore in this section. The young man was 20 years of age and was an especially bright youth, one who held the high esteem of all of his associates. About three weeks ago the young man was afflicted by an atack of tonsilitis. One week ago Monday he recovered sufficiently to go to work, but had only worked one day when he was forced to quit because of a hemorrhage of the nose. He went home and a doctor was secured, but the bleeding continued and it was decided to take him to the hospital, where he was placed under an anesthetic and the one side of the nose packed, so that bleeding was stopped. This was on Saturday evening and his condition was somewhat improved. But early yesterday morning the other side of the nose started to bleed and the young man grew gradually weaker. Blood was taken from one of his brothers and injected into the patient, but the efforts to save his life proved unavailable and he died at the hour stated. The young man is survived by his parents and four brothers, as follows: Murray, of Kittanning; Vernon, Albany, N. Y.; Clair, Buffalo, and Paul, Kittanning. No arrangement for the funeral have yet been made.
