5-Year-Old Child Dies of Diphtheria Monday

Furney, the 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Furney Howard, who live in New Town, died last night at 8 o’clock from an attack of diphtheria.

Unfortunately, the trouble was not discovered until the disease had made so much headway that toxin-antitoxin failed to arrest the trouble.

Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock today by Rev. C.O. Pardo.
