Master Robert McCollister, the 5-year-old son of Jeff McCollister, is dead of infantile paralysis at the family home in the village of Lone Tree. The child was ill but two days. The house has been quarantined, as physicians fear that the germs of the dread disease may cause an epidemic, if all precautions are not taken.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born March 30, 1908 and died May 18, 1913. He is buried in Swank Cemetery.
