The, first death in the mild epidemic
of scarlet fever which| has
pearing ‘in widely scattered spots
throughout this section was reported
by Elmer Kerr, district health officer,
_ this week.
Eyelyn White, aged 5, daughter of
“Mr. and Mrs. Earl White of Ross
Township, sweet Valley, died on Tues-
-day. She had been ill since the pre-
ceding Friday and is believed to have
contracted the disease from the same
source as another five-year-old neigh-
bor who was reported ill of scarlet
fever this week.
. Funeral services were held on Wed-
nesday afternoon, with interment at
Clarks Summit. The services were
private.
Two More Cases
One of the two other children re-
ported to be suffering from
fever this week was Doris Sorber,
aged 5, 'who lives in the rear of the
home of Evelyn White. The White
child attended a party on the porch of
the Sorber home last week, Mr. Kerr
reported, and is believed to have con-
. tracted the disease at that time. The
Sorber child's case is a mild one, Mr.
Kerr said.
The other case reported was that of
Margaret Bellas, aged 6, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bellas, of Rae-
“burn, Union Township.
Although the epidemic continues to
be mild nd has been kept well under
control by, prompt action of health

care for children showing possible
symptoms of scarlet fever.

J. M. Lloyd, State prosecutor of the

Because of the mild nature of many
of the cases of quarantines many fami-

strict quarantine measures requested
to prevent spread of the disease.
Arrests will follow,” Mr. Kerr said,
when quarantines are lifted and prose-

violation, “This is a final warning”
declared Mr. Kerr, “to persons under

the law by entering premises under

Thes€chool board of Dallas Township was preparing this week to secure

$250 Reward To
Spur Hunt For
Morgan’s Body
Money Raised By Sorrowing
Friends Of School
Official
EFFORTS HANDICAPPED |
n
To encourage workers who are on]
deavoring to recover from the swollen
waters of the Susquehanna the body of
John E. Morgan, widely known and
beloved superintendent of Wyoming
County schools, Tunkhannock folk this
week raised a $250 fithd which will be
given as a reward for the recovery of
the body.
All through the week, since Mr. Mor-
into the river from the
Falls bridge last Friday afternoon, a
steady search has continued, handi-
capped by the swiftness of the current
and the depth of .the water at that
point. The change in the weather yes-
terday made the searchers’ work more
difficult.
The reward money has been raised
and the cash is being held by R. W.
Greenwood, coroner, who will turn
over the money to the person obtain-
ing the body. The fund was subscribed
by business men and prominent citi-
zens of Tunkhannock.
The news that Mr, Morgan, discour-
aged by his ill health, had ended his
life by jumping into the river while
his daughter, Ruth, with whom he had
been riding, looked on, sent a sincere
shock throughout®* Wyoming County
and the sections of Luzerne County in
which he was so wel! known and held
in high esteem.
The tragedy took place as Mr. Mor-
gan was motoring back to Tunkhan- |
nock after visiting his son, Elwood, at
Kingston.
Mr. Morgan was born near Beau-
mont, August 15, 1879, attended school
in Monroe Township and began his
teaching career there. He was prin-
cipal of Beaumont High School for
four years, and was elected superin-
tendent of schools in Wyoming Coun-
ty in 1914, holding that office until he,
resigned because of ill health several
weeks ago.
