Two deaths have already occurred. At present two families are afflicted and several members of both households are very ill. The disease broke out in the home of Jacob Holtz, who lives near Pensacola. A two-year-old child of that household died last week and was buried at New Germany Saturday. Michael Weinzeirl, of New Germany, is a brother-in-law of Jacob Holtz, Michael’s daughter, Miss Kate Weinzeirl, visited at the Holtz house for some time and then returned to New Germany. Diphtheria broke out at the Weinzeirl home and some persons say there is no question the disease was taken there from the Holtz place. Mrs. Mary Weinzeirl, mother of household, died Saturday morning, aged forty-five years. She first became ill of diphtheria, the trouble later developing into pneumonia. She was buried at New Germany Sunday. Mrs. Weinzeirl is survived by ten children and five of these are suffering from diphtheria, including a boy about nineteen, a girl of eighteen, another of fourteen, a boy of ten and another of six. The six-year-old is a victim of hemorrhagic or black diphtheria and his death is believed to be only a question of time. The ten-year-old’s case is also said to be grave. One or two children of the Holtz home are also said to be seriously ill of the disease. _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!
