Death clears Naomi Gilroy rumors in Sidell tragedy
Naomi Gilroy, a 14 year old Sidell pupil, died in Chicago County hospital after a mysterious illness. A post mortem found a malignant abdominal tumor aggravated by a baseball impact, disproving cruel gossip that she suffered from suspected misconduct. Her father Rev Frank Gilroy faced questions as the community sought truth. Funeral services are set at the Federated church in Sidell.
