Miss Winona Busby Sweney Died Today
Following an Operation for Appendicitis Thursday
Popular Girl Of The Younger Set
"She Smiled While Others Would Have Been Tearful: She Was A Beautiful Girl and A Loving Friend" Is the Tribute Paid Her by One Who Knew Her Well.
Miss Winona Busby Sweney, who would have been nineteen years of age had she lived until August 16, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Busby P. Sweeney [sic], No. 320 west Church street, this morning at 6:06 o'clock. Death was due to a tubercular infection of the vermiform appendix, following an operation for appendicitis.
Miss Sweney became ill last Tuesday. Dr. David N. Kinsman, of Columbus, was called in consultation by Drs. A and. Herman S. Rhu, the attending physicians. A diagnosis revealed that she was suffering from a sever attack of appendicitis and an operation was immediately decided upon as the only means
of saving her life. Thursday afternoon, the operation was performed by the Drs. Rhu, Dr. A. M. Crane administering the anesthetic. Apparently she revived very satisfactory from the operation, and was conscious up until Friday afternoon about 4 o’clock, when she sank into a coma, gradually growing weaker and weaker until death finally came.
The unexpected death of the popular young woman was learned with the deepst [sic] regret by her hundreds of friends through the city. She was beloved by all who knew her, and her untimely passing is a shock to the younger society set, in which she was a leader.
Miss Sweney was a graduate of the Marion High school, having graduated last year. During the last year of her High school, it was feared that she would be compelled to quit school on account of her failing health, but she bravely insisted that she could continue her studies and she was allowed to finish the year, graduating with honors. Although she had suffered considerable for the past year, Miss Sweney never complained and not even her parents realized the seriousness of her condition.
"She smiled where others would have been tearful" said a dear friend in speaking of the young woman's sudden death. "She was a beautiful girl and a loving friend>'
Miss Sweney was a member of the First Presbyterian church choir, having sung at the church last Sunday, and was active in the Sunday-school work. She was vice president of the Delta Theta sorority, the members of which are High school graduates.
Besides her parents, Miss Sweney is survived by one sister, Miss Cleo, and two brothers, Emil and Kenneth.
The funeral services will be held at the home Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
