The community was pained to hear of the death of Mrs. John Elsinger, of St. Lawrence, who died at an early hour last Friday morning, April 22, 1904, of smallpox. The disease was discovered a few days previous by Dr. Muentzner, of Allenton, who was called there. Mrs. Elsinger had been to Milwaukee with some of her children and upon her return were taken sick. Ten of the children have the disease and a strict quarantine has been established by the town board of health. The burial of Mrs. Elsinger was held at 8:30 o'clock Friday evening in order to avoid any possible spread. The death of Mrs. Elsinger is a hard blow to the family and regretted by her many acquaintances. She was a most estimable lady and well-liked by everyone in the community. It is believed that no further deaths will result, which is earnestly hoped.
