James Mulgrew
Stricken with a strange ailment that racked his body with aches. James Mulgrew, 17, popularly known Burbank High School graduate, who moved with his parents to 1426 LeMoyne Street, Los Angeles recently, died yesterday at 3 a.m., in a city hospital where a squad of specialists labored futilely to check an unknown illness contracted less than 24 hours before.
Jimmy, who was well known here as a merry-hearted fellow, and an all-around athlete, arose Friday morning with a feeling of pain in his muscles. He asked his father to call a doctor. Shortly after he was taken to the California hospital, and later to the General hospital where a hurried consultation was held in a vain attempt to save his life. According to his father, it is believed that Jimmy was attacked by a form of infantile paralysis.
The Mulgrew family moved here nine years ago, Mr. Mulgrew being employed as a postman. Jimmy attended grammar school, junior high school and high school, graduating from the latter last June. He was a swimmer of exceptional ability, and gained credit for Burbank High School meets. He was also a hunter, fisherman, and skilled in handicraft. Versatile in his talents, he was also an excellent pianist, and enjoyed a large circle of high school chums, as well as older friends.
Jimmy had planned to attend the University of Southern California next year and was working this year in preparation. He is survived by a brother, Jack, who is studying at the University of California at Los Angeles; a sister, Miss Vivian Mulgrew, a student at Belmont High School, and his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Mulgrew, who formerly resided at 602 Santa Anita avenue.
Funeral services will be held at the grave, Forest Lawn Memorial Park, tomorrow at 2 p.m., the father said today.
