Thursday Aug 9
Same -- Bed 1 --- Catholic [Sodality?] picnic today at St Mary's Hospital Park, lower part of the city. About 2 PM Henry O'Shea, about 15 yrs old, only son of Martin O'Shea was walking up Union st from the picnic with another boy when he suddenly threw up his arms and fell, bleeding from the mouth. He was taken into a house near by, and died in about five minutes. He had evidently ruptured a blood vessel. He was rather of a puny, weakly youth and had engaged some in the games and partaken of a plate of ice-cream -- Being overheated caused the bursting of the blood vessel. The day was very warm -- 86[degrees] in the shade -- but this was no case of sun-stroke --
