Ernest Garlinger, a young man of nineteen, the son of William Garlinger, died last Thursday, and was buried the next day. He was one of the many whose constitutions seem to have been shattered by the grippe, as he had never been well before the epidemic. His parent’s sorrow is a matter of sincere public sympathy.

Ernest Garlinger, the 10 year old son of Wm. Garlinger, died this morning, of malaria fever. He had been sick for a long time. He was a bright young man, and his sudden death is greatly to be regretted.

The funeral will occur tomorrow.
