Little Gerald Lynn Funk, two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy J. Funk, formerly
of Ft. Bayard, died Monday of this week, the victim of leukemia. Death came to
the little sufferer, for whom medical science waged a notable battle, at
Washington, D.C., where he had been a patient at the Georgetown University
hospital since last March. Stricken with the blood-consuming disease for which
no cure has been found, Gerald became the object of national attention when,
through efforts of the American Red Cross and hundreds of kindly people, he and
his parents were flown to Washington on the American Airlines for an
experimental treatment with the new miracle drug, cortisone. Object of the
treatment was to perform a delaying action against the disease in hopes that a
cure could be found before the inroads became too great. For a time it appeared
as if the experiment would be a success and the little patient rallied. After a
while the treatment became futile and death claimed the victory. As an act of
kindness on the part of the Veterans Administration by whom the baby's father
was employed at Ft. Bayard, an assignment and transfer was arranged for him in
Washington so that the family could be near the scene where the treatments, very
expensive, were being given and the youngster comforted by their presence.
Hundreds of people, most of whom were not remotely acquainted with the family,
sent money contributions and words of comfort to the troubled parents. Friends
at Ft. Bayard did everything in their power to aid the worthy cause. Proceeds
from one performance of the Bayard Lions Minstrel were given to help pay for
treatment. The rallying of aid and friendship and the efforts of the doctors
constitute a shining hour in the many sordid ones of current human events.
Funeral services for Gerald were held in Washington Wednesday from the W.W.
Chambers funeral home in Washington. In addition to the parents, he is survived
by a sister, Joyce Funk. Interment was also made in Washington.
