MASTER THOS. DOUGAN VICTIM OF THE "FLU"
There is great sorrow in the home of Mrs. Thoams Dougan over the death of her 10-year-old grandson, Thomas H. Dougan, who passed away Saturday about midnight.
The little fellow was stricken with influenza several weeks ago. Pneumonia followed and caused his demise. His sister and two brothers were ill with the malady, but are now able to be up, although still in quarantine.
Walter Dougan, father of the little victim, left his work as building commissioner for the city of Gary, Ind., to come here and care for his son. He contracted the disease and was able to be out for the first time today.
Little Thoams was an unusually bright and industrious young man and a great favorite with his companions. The funeral will be held from the residence, 802 Bryant street, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and will be private on account of the influenza quarantine. Mrs. Pearl Dougan and daughter, Miss Blanche, have been called here.
