PERRY, Ira Walter, Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, 2 May 1902,
Central Point Items: Ira Walter Perry, adopted son of Mrs. Arthur
Wilson, died at the family home April 28th with diphtheritic
membranous croup, after only a few days' illness, aged twelve
years, seven months and four days. This is a very sad bereavement
for Mrs. Wilson, who lost her husband by blood poisoning just two
weeks ago, and now this is doubly hard to bear. Ira will be
greatly missed by his teacher and schoolmates, whom he associated
with every day, as well as by the near relatives. He asked to be
let look at his teacher and schoolmates go by from school only a
few minutes before he died. Mrs. Wilson and his sisters have the
sympathy of their many friends in this their sad hour of
affliction.
