Farquhar, an end, was injured Tuesday afternoon and taken to the College hospital. He apparently was not seriously injured but became worse and was sent to Temple accompanied by the College nurse and his brother, Sergeant W. W. Farquhar of the U, S. Air Corps on duty here, Tho death, the first casualty of its kind ever suffered at A. & M., plunged the whole campus and student body into gloom. Memorial services by the entire student body were held Thursday afternoons attended in a body by both the Varsity and Freshman football squads. A number of Farquhar's team-mates, Coaches Bible, Higginbotham and Anderson and other College officials and students attended the funeral. Farquhar was an outstanding man. He was passing in every hour of work carried, his demerit sheet in the Commandant's office was en- tirely blank and he was working his way thru school His death has caused the whole Student Body and faculty to grieve and the Former Students will grieve with his family over the loss of so fine a man. llEA'pH OF C. W. EDllINS IS RESLtLT OF ACCIDENT. Death came to our friend and classmate yesterday afternoon as the result of an accident while returning frmn drill. Cat•lton Wilbur Eddins, 21, of Kerrville, Texas, was the son of C. R. Eddine of Kerr- ville. Eddins was a Junior in D troop Cavalry. The accident occurred while the troop was returning from drill when Eddins horse became unruly. His horse bumped into another and knocked a boy off and then started to rear up and Eddins jumped but failed to clear hint enough to be out of the way as he came back over on him. Death was instantaneous. The body has been sent to the home at Kerrville where burial will be held Thm•sday. A firing squad of nine men has been sent by the college to conduct a military funeral. P. R. Redfern will blow Taps far the last time for Eddins. E. R. Tarn has been sent as a representative of his troop in the absence of his troop commander, Judson Neff. Eddie, as he ryas known by all, had made many friends be- cause of his wimting personality and friendly disposition toward everyone He had worked most of his way through school by employ- ment at the Power Plant and knew what sacrifice was but he was determined to get his education in spite of all obstacles. In his pass- ing we have lost a friend who was appreciated and loved by all.
