GIRL, 4, IS STRICKEN WITH SCARLET FEVER
Little Mary Linquist Dies from Dread Disease at Parents Home
Mary Catherine Linquist, four years old, daughter and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Linquist, 320 Huron street, died last evening about 9 o'clock, a victim of scarlet fever. The child had been sick for about two weeks and had the disease in a pronounced form since first stricken. The family make their home with Mrs. Linquist's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Kane. Mrs. Linquist was formerly Miss Mary Kane.
Private funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow afternoon. Burial will take place in Silver Brook cemetery.
As far as reported to the city health officer, Dr. L.M. Rutz there is but one other case of scarlet fever in the city, that of Louis Ehninger, N. Lincoln avenue who is making a satisfactory recovery.
Scarlet fever has been less prevalent in the city since the Dick tests have been introduced in to the public schools. It is not known how the little Linquist girl contracted the disease.
