“In this city, on Friday, the 6th inst.1, of scarlet fever, Bettie M Dugan, aged three years and six months. On Saturday, the 7th inst., of the same disease, Hannah M Dugan, aged one year and nine months, both daughters of Thomas and Lavinia Dugan.”
“The funeral of these children took place on Sunday afternoon last, and was attended by a large number of our citizens. Four years ago this month, as a strange and sad coincidence the parents buried two other children2 at one time, victims of the same disease. The sympathies of the community are with the bereaved in their great and two-fold affliction”
