Goliad County Epidemic Newspaper Gleanings

The Epidemic at Goliad.--Private information was received that the yellow fever has appeared and was raging fearfully at Victoria and Goliad. At the latter place Mr. M. Seeligson, formerly Mayor of Galveston, was down with the fever. This is the more remarkable as Mr. Seeligson passed an epidemic season in Galveston.

The Howard Association sent Dr. C. H. McGill and four tried nurses, also some medicine, to Goliad on the Harlan, which steamer left yesterday for Indianola. [Source: Flake's Bulletin, October 16, 1867 - Submitted Christina Anthony]
