Last we mentioned the fact that Mr. Peter Freund of Johnsburg had been taken to the hospital in Minneapolis to receive treatment for a peculiar disease that had made Mr. Freund bed-ridden for a month or more. On Wednesday of this week a telegram from the hospital authorities announced that Mr. Freund had died. The remains were brought to Adams Thursday at noon and from here conveyed to his late residence at Johnsburg. The funeral will be held in the Johnsburg Catholic church, Saturday morning, October 8, at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Freund has been engaged in both the mercantile and saloon business for a number of years and has been more than ordinarily successful. The past two or three years he has depended on his sons to look after the business and they will continue both the store and saloon. We have been unable to secure any facts in regard to age, family history or the length of time Mr. Freund has been here.
In speaking of the peculiar disease of which Mr. Freund died, a Minneapolis paper says:
"A rare disease was recently treated at one of the hospitals. It is called by physicians, Penphigus, and is generally fatal and contagious unless the most careful precautions are taken in the way of thoroughly disinfecting and cleanliness. The disease is thought to be an infection of the skin but very little is known of it. There have been many epidemics of the disease in this country and several cases were treated in the city hospital here four years ago."
