Mr. E. Cory, one of the old
pioneers of Douglas county, died at his home in the Pleasant
Hill country on Sunday, July 24, at 12 o'clock. Mr. Cory had
been suffering for a long time with heart and lung trouble and
every thing possible was done to relieve him but to no avail.
He was well and favorably known by all who traveled through that
part of the country and no one went hungry who called on him. A
large number of friends in Waterville mourn his demise. The
funeral services were held on Monday at his residence, Rev. A.
O. Dyer officiating. The remains were taken to the Bridgeport
cemetery for internment.

Dr. Hollingshead was called
Tuesday to prescribe for Florence, the interesting 4 year old
daughter of Piatt Corbaley. Florence had been complaining of
sore throat and difficulty swallowing and as soon as Dr.
Hollingshead made an examination of the case he pronounced it
diphtheria. The little girl rapidly grew worse and died last
night. The county commissioners in session have taken rigid
measures to prevent the further spread of the deadly disease.
