DEATH OF A PITTSBURGER
A Sad Case - Carried off by the Yellow Fever
A particularly sad case of the death of a Pittsburger comes from Memphis, Tennessee, the yellow fever doing the fatal work. Besides that several of the family have been taken with the same disease. It seems that Dr. McMeal, of this city, who married a daughter of Mr. N. J. Bigley, some six months ago took his departure for Memphis, and commenced the practice of his profession in that city. Having become settled there he sent for his wife to come and join him, which she did some three weeks ago. Soon after her arrival in that city she took yellow fever. Hearing of this her mother and sister immediately departed from this city to see her. Dr. McMeal was also taken with the fever. And it is said that, shortly after arriving at Memphis, Mrs. Bigley and her daughter, Miss Bigley, were seized with the disease too. The latter thrree cases have proved to be light attacks, although they have not yet recovered; but the case of Mrs. Dr. McMeal has proved fatal. Friends here were surprised at the intelligence, for when she left here but a few weeks since she was in perfect health. Her body will arrive in this city at seven o'clock this morning, coming on the Pan-handle road.
