From: Le Mars Daily Liberal, April 25, 1882

The death-angel still hovers over LeMars. This morning the eldest child [Ada P.] of Fred M. Tomlinson, aged about two years, died of scarlet fever, and the remaining child is not expected to live many hours. A short time after Aubrey Milliman's eldest child, a little girl aged about, six years died, of diphtheria, and in this home, too, there is another that will probably die before tomorrow's sun. The funerals will be private and will take place this afternoon. The hearty sympathy of our people is extended t o the bereaved parents.
