Influenza claimed one of its victims for death on Monday. Mrs. Cora Etta, wife of J.W. Eckert, died after a short but severe attack of influenza. Our sympathies go out to the family in this second bereavement in a space of four months. In October it was their little son, Randall, and now it is the mother. She is survived by her husband and five children; Theodore, who is still very sick with influenza; Christina, Mary, Jennie and Ralph. The funeral was held on Thursday from the house, Rev. R.E Schwenk officiating. Interment made in Hamden Cemetery.
