Lore; Saturday morning Joseph Fetters, son of John Fetters; Saturday night Lewis Fetters, a son of Frank Fetters; and Sunday a grandchild of William Burrus, Wesley Pruit [sic], who lives on the Lore farm, was very low Monday, and a number of others were very sick, in fact there are hardly enough well to bury the dead.
