Thelma, the ten year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schiernbeck of 8 1/2 miles southeast of Battle Creek, died from scarlet fever last Saturday and was buried Monday at Schleswig. There were five children in this family sick at one time with scarlet fever and two nurses were employed. There are strong hopes that all the rest of the patients will pull through.
