SECOND CASEAREAN OPERATION
IS FATAL TO YOUNG MOTHER
Mrs. Charles Fitzpatrick dies Tuesday Evening.
One of the most unusual occurrences known
to medical science, a second Caesarean operation
proved fatal to Mrs. Charles R. Fitzpatrick, well
known young woman of Pleasant township, who
died Tuesday night at 9:18 o'clock at the St.
Vincent's hospital in Indianapolis. Mrs. Fitzpatrick's
condition had been regarded as very favorable up
to 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when a change for
the worse was noted by her nurse and she grew
worse rapidly until death.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick was taken to the St. Vincent's
hospital on Tuesday, November 3rd. On Wednesday,
the operation was performed and the child, a fine boy,
who was given the name Donald Wayne, was saved and
said by the nurses and physicians to be an unusually
fine specimen of babyhood.
When Mrs. Fitzpatrick's first child was born in 1921,
a Caesarean operation was necessary to save mother and
child. This child, a little girl, Wilma Lou, is living and
the young mother is survived by her husband and these
two little children.
Funeral services will be held from the Community
church, of which the deceased was a member, Friday
morning, at 10 o'clock, and the burial will follow in
Greenlawn cemetery, Franklin. The services will be
conducted by the Rev. Gray, pastor of the church.

Fitzpatrick, and their married life had been spent in
