Rensselaer Journal, Volume 12, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 March 1903 — Another Case of Small Pox. [ARTICLE]

Another Case of Small Pox.

The latest ease of small pox is that of Harvey Daywitt, of Parr. It is the worst case that has yet appeared in this county. Daywitt contracted the case at Chicago Heights but it was not reported to the county health officer until Sunday and when he went to the Daywitt residence he found the young man broken out with the dis* ease to considerable extent. The family, consisting of five members, and Mrs. Mike Fay, who visited the Daywitt family, have been placed under quarantine. The other cases are getting along nicely and the quarantine will be raised in a few days. The quarantine against Bruce Moffitt was raised Mon* and he was given permission by the county health officer to attend a pub* lie sale Tuesday, but when he appeared at the sale those present scat* tered like sheep and ordered him to leave, which he did rather than to break up the sale.
