The two and a-half year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bottema died Tuesday morning of scarlet fever. The little one was buried Tuesday night. It was taken sick Saturday. The home was quarantined Tuesday. The Bottema family live west of town in the community where there have been several scarlet fever cases this spring. It was believed that the epidemic in that neighborhood had died out. Another of the Bottema children is sick with the disease.
