I thought of Namen as well, but the last letter clearly isn't a "n". So either it is a misspelling, or Nameu has a special meaning. I don't know the word. The context does not help a lot as this word is kind of isolated in the meaning of the sentence. Even "Namen" would not help myself understand the expression where this word is embedded. Here a translation of the first sentence for those who don't understand german, or who have problems in reading gothic letters: "We are hearing with regret, Tavistock has latterly got a quite hard 'Nameu' (Name?), which may be mainly due to the typhoid fever prevailing here for a while, although it has not quite been as bad as cried out in neighboring places."
