Scarlet Fever Fatal To

Mrs. Phillip Schoene

Mrs. Phillip Schoene died at her home seven miles southwest

of Cook, on Tuesday night of this week, following a

short illness with scarlet fever.

 Mr. Schoene and other members of the family are also sick

with the disease and the home is under quarantine.

It seems that one of the their sons contracted the disease while

away from from, but knew nothing thereof until taken down

after returning home. His mother nursed him back to health

and later was stricken with the malady and it soon proved fatal.

Burial occurred Wednesday afternoon but owing to the nature

of her affliction no public funeral service was held.

Mrs. Schoene was well known in Talmage and vicinity and the

news of her death was a severe shock to her many friends here.

All sympathy is extended the family in their hour of severe trial.
