Information: Donald Brooks, son of Addo and Geneva Brooks, was born January 9, 1905 and died January 17, 1925, being at the time of his death, twenty years and eight years old.  He was the eldest of a family of five children.  The four remaining are Edna, Virginia, Alton and Gay Brooks, all at home, who, with father, mother, and a number of other near relatives as well as a host of friends, are suffering a severe and irreparable loss.      Donald had been ill for several weeks.  Never a complainer, he bore suffering and illness as he always faced any crises, calmly, patiently and always courageously. He was ever thoughful of those who cared for him in sickness or in health.  Kindness and courtesy, affection for all and faithfulness and honor to every friendship and trust had no truer example than in Donald Brooks. (Many letters of condolence are also printed, several from his teachers at Ravenswood)
