    William J. Eberhart, prominent young farmer of Jackson Township, who was brought to the William S. Major Hospital in this city three days ago suffering from tetanus, commonly known as lockjaw, died of the disease at 8 o'clock this morning in the hospital.

    He was twenty-nine years, three months and two days old at the time of his death.

    The fatal illness of Mr. Eberhart dates to nine days ago, when he stepped on a rusty nail at his farm in Jackson Township. The nail was embedded deeply in his foot and an infection set in almost immediately. His suffering was intense and as a last hope of saving his life he was moved to the hospital here where expert medical attention failed to ward off the inevitable results of the ailment with which he had been attacked.

    Mr. Eberhart was born in Jackson Township Nov. 30, 1897, and his entire life was spent in that community. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Eberhart, who resided in West Broadway here.

    His marriage with Miss Vivian Harrell took place Aug. 2, 1917, and three children were born. They are Dorothy May, 9; William Harrell, 7, and Lorene Lavonne, 4, who survives with the sorrowing widow. He also leaves two brothers, Carl Eberhart of Shelbyville. and Everett Eberhart, of Jackson Township, and one sister, Mrs. Clyde Pierson, of Shelbyville.

    Many residents of the community are saddened by the untimely death of this young man. He was an energetic and successful farmer, an ideal husband and father and one of the leaders in his section of the county. All who knew him held Mr. Eberhart in the highest esteem and deeply mourn his death.

    He was a member of the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church at Smithland and was affiliated with Hiawatha Lodge, I.O.O.F., at Smithland. This lodge will take part in the funeral services.

    The funeral will be held in the church at Smithland at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Dallas Renn will conduct the service and burial will be in the Miller Cemetery.

    C.F. Fix & Son are the undertakers in charge.
