FEE, RAGAN, TATE "The Kansas City Evening Star" (Missouri) Monday, May 9, 1881 SUPPOSED SMALL-POX Considerable excitement was caused at the police station, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, by a young creole, who walked into the station and said he had the small-pox. Dr. FEE was called, made an examination, pronounced the man free from the disease, and sent him to the hospital in a street car. The man's name is Jerrold TATE. He came here about a week ago and put up at the Mound City House, on Main street, where he remained until yesterday. In the afternoon he was taken sick and went into the hotel office, where he met Mr. RAGAN, proprietor of the house. Mr. RAGAN noticed his guest's sickness, and thought from the symptoms he was suffering from the small-pox and sent him to the station. Mr. RAGAN is an old small-pox nurse and is quite certain that the man is suffering from that disease. Dr. FEE is a doctor, and says he isn't. The outcome will be anxiously awaited. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
