Calumet - The sad news went forth Sunday morning
that Mrs. Mattis Schuman had passed away. This is practically
another influenza victim, as the deceased lady was taken down
with the disease several weeks ago, the case developed into
pneumonia and since that time she has been in a very weak
condition, and passed away Sunday morning, February 9th. Our
sympathy goes to this, another family bereaved of a loved one.
