TYPHOID VICTIMS

The funeral of Mrs. William McDowell and daughter, Bertha, of Oak Grove, occurs today, with burial at Sugar Creek cemetery. The cause of both deaths is typhoid fever. There are five members of the family down sick with the same disease. One of the boys was taken down first, and it is thought that the remaining members of the family contracted the disease from him.
