Sad and pathetic is the story of the death of little Mary Czarnek, aged 10 years, who died at 5 o'clock this morning at the hospital for crippled children at the Home of the Friendless. Her home was Loup City, Neb. She took sick more than a month ago, but as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Czarnek were too poor to care for her and secure the attention of a doctor, the child was taken to the hospital for crippled children in Lincoln four weeks ago.
This is the first death which has occurred at the hospital for children since its establishment a year ago. For four long weeks the child suffered with septicemia, a form of blood poisoning. She seemed to have an unusual amount of vitality and struggled to the last, and during all this time saw nothing but strange faces. Her aunt arrived in the city and will accompany the body at 6 o'clock this evening to Columbus, Neb., where the burial service will be held.

The above is partly true. Little Mary Czarnek was sent to the state hospital for crippled and deformed children at Lincoln to be operated on for hair-lip and cleft palate. While there, and immediately after the operation, she was taken with scarlet fever, causing death from infection.
