Elgin Echo, Thursday, 07 March 1895.
The dread disease scarlet fever has made another home desolate. Two children of Mr. Henry Schrader died last week and the remainder of the family are very sick. Willie, aged 19, died first, and two days after Bertha, aged (Looks like 13 or 18.) passed away to the great beyond. The stricken family have the sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow.
