Cause of Death 
Heat Prostration - Hyperthermia, in its advanced state referred to as heat stroke or sunstroke, is an acute condition which occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat then it can dissipate. It is usually due to excessive exposure to heat. The heat regulating mechanisms of the body eventually become overwhealmed and unable to effectively deal with the heat, therefore body temperature climbs uncontrollably. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention. 
Marasmus - A form of severe protien-energy malnutrition charactized by energy deficiency. A child with marasmus will look emaciated.

Obituary from The Courier-Journal, Louisville, KY 
Wednesday Morning July 5, 1911 
 
There was a heat wave engulfing most of the eastern U.S. There were columns listing the local and out of town death tolls. 
The Headlines were: 
Mercury is Again Agile - 
Thermometer Registers 102 degrees at 2 o'clock - 
Louisville Feels Stress of Continued Heat - 
Day's Hot Weather Toll - 
Deaths - Three Deaths Result of Blazing Hot Day - 
Aged Watchman Expires at Dinner Table - Two Others Succumb 
(I have NOT included the other fatalities.) 
Gustave Kuprion, the 18-months-old son of Albert Kuprion, a salesman for the National Biscuit Company, died at 7:15 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of his parents West Market Street. The child's death is attributed to the hot weather. Although he had been ill for weeks, the child's condition did not become serious until Monday. 
 
(His grandfather, Charles Karl Kuprion, Sr., died on the 6th July 1911, during the same severe heat wave, and both were buried in St. Louis Cemtery.)
