A Terrible Affliction
Logansport Journal
The heart rending afflictions that are falling in such rapid succession upon Mr. and Mrs. Paul Taber, excite the deepest sympathy of the entire community. Last Sunday the Journal chronicled the death of the bright boy, Humphrey Paul, at the age of eleven years. Yesterday forenoon the fell destroyer took Nellie, aged 7 years, and Katie, aged about four years. Their deaths occurred about one hour apart. Another child is very dangerously ill with the terrible disease, diphtheria, which has thus ravaged this sorely smitten family circle.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?
On the 11th of the last August Edwin Rock Taber, a lad fourteen years old, five feet high, square build, large blue eyes, freckeled face, uneven teeth, and of a polite and manly bearing, left his father's home in this city. He was afterward seen at Lafayette, Ind., but before his father could reach there he had taken his departure. Paul Taber, Esq., the father of the boy, is a worthy and highly respectable citizen of this city. While he and his excellent wife were mourning over the boy who had causelessly strayed from his comfortable home, a still greater affliction was visited upon them. In one week four of their remaining children died of diptheria, three of whom were buried in one day. It is believed that is the affliction that has fallen upon his fond parents was known to the absent Eddy he would return at once to his home, and it is in hope that we respectfully ask our exchanges to copy this notice.
