From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 23 October 1936:
Obituary - The late Mr. Charles Edward Booth
"The death occurred at Dalwallinu Hospital on Saturday, October 17, when Charles Edward (Jock) Booth, second son of Mr and Mrs W. Booth, of Miling, and grandson of Mr and Mrs C. F. Thomas, snr., of Three Springs, passed away at the age of 17 years. The deceased was admitted to the Dalwallinu Hospital on Sunday, October 11, suffering from tetanus (lock jaw), which was the first case of its kind to be received at the hospital. On September 28 a horse trod on the boy's left foot, bruising the great toe. No ill affect was felt and the lad went to work as usual, but on September 30 the toe became sore and bread poultices were applied and this enabled him to continue work. On Saturday afternoon, October 10, however, his jaws stiffened and on the following morning they were locked to an extent that he was able to insert only portion of a forefinger between his teeth. The manager of Tootra Station - Mr R. H. Wallace - soon conveyed the sufferer to Dr. Anderson at Dalwallinu, where he was admitted to the hospital. So dangerously ill had the patient become that the slightest sound brought on agonising fits and members of the hospital staff went about their duties in stockinged feet, while work of a noisy nature in the town ceased in order to render the patient every chance to recover, even trains restricted whistling, and the considerate action of all in this regard was much appreciated by Dr. Anderson and the boy's parents. On Monday and Tuesday tetanus antitoxin for the patient was conveyed by aeroplane from Perth to Dalwallinu, but despite these efforts the patient finally succumbed to this dread complaint."
