The little child of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Callies of Oronoco township died Saturday (Sept 1). The funeral was held at the German Lutheran church here this afternoon and the interment was made in Oakwood cemetery (Sept 3).

The cemetery records list the cause of death as "Summer complaint"; reason for death listed in Minnesota County Deaths as "Cholera Infantum". They are synonyms. Cholera infantum:  a common, non-contagious diarrhea of young children, occurring in summer or autumn.  It was common among the poor and in hand-fed babies, i.e. babies who were fed on mixtures of bread or flour and water, possibly with admixture of cows' milk, which might be infected, or condensed milk, which was vitamin deficient.
