Brown County (IN) Democrat, February 11, 1926, p. 1. SMALLPOX REPORTED OVER AT COLUMBUS Many Breaking Out and Physicians Worried-Strict Quarantine Put in Force Smallpox is reported to have broken out over at Columbus, but at this time is causing no undue alarm, although much excitement was occasioned last Thursday when the home of Mrs. Barbara Gressel on Fourth Street was flagged. The mother had been sick for some time with what was thought to have been grip. She had a breaking out on her body, but the attending physician was not told, it is said. She is much better now. Emmet (consider Emmett a spelling variant) Gressel, the son who attended his mother, was taken sick and finally broke out with what was reported a pronounced case of smallpox. Emmet visited the home of his brother, George, on Sycamore Street and later a two-months-old baby broke out and for several days had a temperature of 102.
