Three
deaths in the space of about a week is the sad story of the tribulations
of the Mast family of Lavina. On October 8, Sylvia Mast, the six-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mast, died of typhoid fever, at which time
six other members of the family were sick with the same disease. Sunday
October 9, three of the sick children were brought to this place where they
were placed in the hospital for treatment. Thursday of last week the mother
of the children died, and on Monday another one of the children died in
the hospital here. The two children remaining in the hospital here are getting
along nicely. In legible handwriting the following was on the photocopies of this set of Obits: Also Elpha Caroline Mast. Born Jan 14, 1896, Died Nov 9, 1910 of typhoid |
