6 November 1877 Died after a short illness - rheumatism in the head. First attacked a thigh, doctor ordered a hot bath but the pain shifted to the head and he fast became insensible and died. His mother, who was sent for, wished to take him home before burying, and she was allowed to do so, the coffin, etc, being provided by the School. The doctor offered to make a post-mortem examination of the boy's head for the satisfaction of his friends, but they did not wish it, the mother saying he was the seventh child of hers that she had lost in a similar sudden manner..
