At 10 o'clock last night James B. Street died of smallpox at his home in Manson. This is the first death from the disease to occur in this county (Clinton) in many years and came within less than two days after the disease had been definitely diagnosed as smallpox. The information as to the death was received here by Dr. McGuire within a few minutes after its occurrence and arrangements were made quickly with Undertaker Comly for the preparation of a burial outfit, which will be taken to the stricken home early this morning by Thomas Perkins and the interment will take place at once in the Mansan (sic) cemetery. Mr. Street was sick several days last week but it was not until Saturday that Dr. Lambert concluded that it was smallpox. He was afflicted with hemorrhage in connection with the other symptoms and when Dr. McGuire saw the case Sunday he had little hope of the man's recovery. His wife and three children have all been in the house with him during his sickness and the malignant form of the disease leaves little doubt that they will be attacked. The disease has appeared in two homes in Colfax also, five children of Samuel Wells having it. Just across the street Mrs. George Arnold and three children are down with the disease. It is said that quite a large number of other people have been exposed. The number of cases and the death of Mr. Street will result in the strictest possible enforcement of the quarantine regulations - Frankfort Morning Times
