Alfred Bement of Muskegon Company, Dies of Disease. Mustering Out Will Take Place Saturday, Unless Complications Result Before That Time.
DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 30, 1917
Alfred Bement of Muskegon, a member of Co. L, Thirty-second infantry of the Michigan Nation Guard, died of scarlet fever at Fort Wayne today. Bement enlisted at Grand Rapids.
Regimental Surgeon Lee announced today that he believes the soldiers now ill at Fort Wayne contracted the disease on the railroad cars which took them here from El Paso. He said that several soldiers showed symptoms of illness before they arrived in Detroit. It is possible that an investigation will be made. No announcement was made of any change in quarantine conditions.
Bement's body will be shipped to Muskegon for burial.
Three new diphtheria cases reported today were investigated, but found to be negative. Culture of three other patients also showed a negative, reducing the number of patients to seven. Surgeons have given anti-toxin treatments to members of Company A and it is hoped that the spread of the disease has been checked.
One new scarlet fever case was reported today, making a total of ten. Major Wells said that the mustering out Saturday of companies not effected by illness will take place without delay, unless complications result.
