"Walter Doroh Passed Away
Had been an invalid for 12 years.
Although Walter Doroh had been an invalid for 12 years, and it was seldom that he was able to leave his bed during that time, yet it was hard for people of this community to believe that the young man had passed away Monday morning. Even some of his closest friends were unaware that for a couple of days previous to his passing he had been in a precarious condition. He passed away at 5;00 a.m.. He was 38 years old.
Walter, in the bloom of youth, was stricken with paralysis on May 13, 1926 and never from that day was able to walk. He was employed as postal clerk in the Grayling Postoffice at the time, and he was taken far and wide for medical attention by his family, but their efforts proved useless. All through these years however his life was made as cheerful as possible and one never went there but that he had a bright smile and cheery handshake and word, taking his affliction as matter-of-fact and with with much patience. To his wife beautiful tribute is due for she administered to his every want with kindness and faithfulness and untiring patience all through his long illness. she rarely ever left her home, except on needed errands. The family meals were served at his bedside, and the home life centered there at all times. His parents and brother Carl also helped to see that he had every comfort possible.
Walter enjoyed talking about fishing and other sports and his friends always saw to it that he was well supplied with trout and wild meat during open seasons. There were many others who tried in other ways to make the hours and days pass just a little quicker by their many kindnesses, and it was easy to be seen that the patient appreciated it all.
Walter Herman Doroh was born in Lewiston, July 22, 1900 to the late Herman Doroh and Mrs. Julia Doroh. The family came to Grayling Thanksgiving Day in 1910 and Walter entered Grayling schools. Leaving school he worked at the Grayling Box Co. factory at T-Town until 1920 when he started as clerk in the local postoffice. August 17, 1921 he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Muth and to them one daughter, June, was born, who was the source of a lot of cheer for her daddy.
The funeral is being held this afternoon with services at the home, Rev. Edgar Flory officiating. Ernest Borcherrs, Howard Granger, Fred Bishaw, Benton Jorgenson, Charles Gierke, and Jens Ziebell, all close friends of the deceased will bear him to his last resting place in e
Elmwood cemetery.
