Again the angel of death has visited the stricken family of Jas. Burroughs. The little girl whom we reported last week as being very low, but thought to be better, died Thursday morning last, making the third death in the family within a few days. Their two remaining children are now sick with the same disease, diphtheria, and fears are entertained that they to will be taken from their almost heartbroken parents.
(next weeks addition reports that the two children are much better)
Died on the 13th was Bennie, aged 4 years and on November 15th was Ella aged 12 years.
