Death of a Deep River Boy

Since coming to the village of Deep River, members of the Cullman family had survived a train wreck and a bout of influenza, but in the autumn of 1921 the middle child, Walter, fell ill, and this time there was no lucky escape.

His 16th birthday had been on September 16, not quite three weeks earlier. Walter was a sophomore at Hobart High School, I suppose, having graduated from the Deep River school in May 1920.
