OBITUARY Iron River Reporter Aug 15 1955 "Keep Children At Home In Polio Season, Parents Told: Rural Child 14, Dies Yesterday of Bulbar Polio"
A Stambaugh township girl, 14, died yesterday morning of bulbar polio at St. Luke's hospital in Marquette, and health authorities today advised parents of younger children to keep their sons and daughters at home in the company of only their accustomed playmates until the polio danger wanes.
The first serious outbreak of the polio in this district in 15 years was reported by local physicians. Five cases definitely diagnosed as polio were listed in a summary.
Edna Abrahamson, 14, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gunnard Abrahamson of the Baumgartner district, died at 3 a.m. Sunday in St. Luke's hospital, Marquette, where she had been in serious condition. She had been ill for several days.
STAMBAUGH CHILD She was born here March 30, 1941 and was to enter Stambaugh high school as a freshman next month. Surviving are her parents, two sisters, Elaine, 17 and Lois, 10, and her grandmother, Mrs. Hulda Abrahamson. The body is at the Johns chapel while funeral arrangements are being completed.
Arbutus Rose Rivard, 21-month old daughter of the William C. Rivards of 415 Washington Ave., Stambaugh, was taken Saturday noon to St. Luke's with a paralysis affecting the one side of her face, and a spinal tap test at the U.P. Children's Clinic confirmed the suspition of polio. Yesterday afternoon, the family had learned by telephone that it was believed the little girl had passed the crisis.
Donald LaChapell, 4, son of the Fred LaChapells of Bates, who was taken to Marquette Tuesday had both legs affected by paralysis, it was reported.
Nancy Jordan, 13, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garth Jordan, reside in the Lohff Woodlawn addition off Division Street, was taken to St. Luke's hopital as a polio patient Thursday. She suffered paralysis of the left arm and left leg.
A number of other children reported ill by their parents were examined by physicians but were found not to have paralytic polio, although their symptoms indicated they might possibly have had mild touches of polio.
A Caspian child was taken to St. Luke's hospital Saturday with what was suspected as polio but was returned the same evening after a negative diagnosis.
The county health department at Stambaugh offered its small supply of serum gobulin to an Iron River physician whose office had exhausted its supply in administering gamma globulin to persons directly exposed by the known cases.
PRECAUTIONS TOLD Meanwhile, Dr. Walter Werner, medical director of the Iron-Dickinson County Health department, admonished parents to keep their children at home, and not to take them on trips.
He also warned against strenuous exercise and chilling, and recommended that parents see that their children had adequate rest and nourishment. They were told to be extremely careful about swimming which would fatigue or chill the youngsters.
Dr. Werener will come tomorrow to complete arrangements with school superintendents of Iron county for the administration of No. 2 Salk vaccine polio shots to second and third graders druing the week of September 12, the second week of the fall school term. The same children, while first and second graders last spring, received the No. 1 shot.
The Abrahamson child is the first west side child to die of bulbar polio in 15 years.
Physicians did not advise suspension of high school football practice which is now in progress daily because the youth mainly are older than the susceptible years on which polio preys.
