Smallpox in Lyday Home in Upper Penrose Section, Dec. 13, 1919

From the front page of the Brevard News, Dec. 13, 1919

Small Pox Near Davidson River

Mr. John Lyday, whose home is in the upper Penrose section, has recently developed a light case of small pox. It is thought that owing to the unusual warm weather of the year and that Mr. Lyday’s family have been vaccinated, the disease will not become an epidemic, however, all due precautions should be taken and no one expose themselves unnecessarily.
