MARCH 26. - A disease called black erysipelas has been causing great distress in our community the past two months and taking as its victims a number of our oldest and most respected citizens. Those who have died with this disease were Samuel, William and Mrs. B F. Morgart and Levi Valenne. Those who have had this disease and are getting well are Miss Grace Filler and Miss Dora Barclay, Jacob Rawling, Marshall Cessna and Simon Pennell. This disease is very dangerous among old people, but the young and middle-aged seldom die of it. It is not a contagious disease, but is caused by atmospheric changes, and we hope that this plague may soon be stopped.
