Leon Reporter, Leon, Iowa Thursday, January 23, 1902 ERNEST CUMMINGS, the young man who contracted small pox in Oklahoma and has been quarantined at the home of his father, three miles northeast of Decatur, has entirely recovered from the disease and is working out of doors on the farm. The first of the week his two sisters, MISSES CARRIE and ZORA CUMMINS, who had never been vaccinated were taken with the disease, but in a very mild form and are getting along nicely. Their father, who was vaccinated years ago, has shown no symptoms of taking the disease and the time for him to take it has now passed, and it is hoped there will be no other cases as a very strict quarantine has been enforced and it is thought the disease will not spread beyond the CUMMINS home.
