Dangerously Sick.

Mrs. Glennon Argenbright is at the home of her father-in-law, Isaac Argenbright so low with double pneumonia that her life is in jeopardy. Her family and friends have been sent for, sad hopes and fears alternate in the anxious minds of her doctors and family. A trained nurse and doctors from Macomb are in attendance and everything that science and medical skill can do is being done in the fight for light.

Her husband, Glennon Argenbright is in the electrical department of service at Fortress Monroe, Va. and came home with Mrs. Argenbright on a ten days furlough which expired Tuesday of this week. They have both been sick while here, but Mr. Argenbright would be able to return. He may get an extension on account of the serious condition of Mrs. Argenbright though the supposition is that his regiment is on the eve of departure for Europe. It would be sad for him to be taken from the bedside of his bride in her terrible fight against death. ~Blandinsville Star-Gazette, page 5
