Distressing Fatality
The entire family of Mr. James Conrad of Washington township, this county, was prostrated by typhoid fever during the month of October past and three deaths occurred from the disease, namely - Peter, aged nineteen, on the 3d; Mary, aged seventeen, on the 4th; and Caroline, aged fifteen, on the 27th. Mr. C. himself is just recovering from a severe visitation of the same scourge. To add to his afflictions, the tail-race to his mill, which had been destroyed a month previous, was again swept away by the recent freshet. Truly Mr. Conrad's troubles have not come singly. |
