On Saturday last for the third time in the last few weeks, the death angel visited the family circle of Mr. HM Randel. After nobly battling against the ravages of typhoid fever, FM Randel, the eldest son of the family was vanquished and passed to the beyond on Saturday, leaving a bereaved and heart-broken family to mourn his loss. Peace for the dead; comfort and consolation for the living in our prayers. - kbz

The family of Harry M. Randel, one of the most prominent citizens of Putnam County is just now undergoing a terrible seige of that dread disease, typhoid fever.  Three weeks ago, Mrs. Carrie Hurt, daughter of Mr. Randel died of typhoid at Bloomingdale.  Mr. and Mrs. Randel and other relatives attended Mrs. Hurt in her last illness and they to a one contracted the fever.  On Monday Mrs. HM Randel died of the disease at the family home in Monroe Township one and one-half miles northwest of Brick Chapel, the funeral occurring Tuesday at the Chapel.  Mr. Randel is confined to his bed with the fever as are Mr. and Mrs. Doug Randel and a young lady who acted as nurse in Mrs. Hurt’s sickness. The members of the family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in the city and county in their affliction.  Councilman JL Randel of this city is a son of Mr. HM Randel.
