Cookeville Herald December 10, 1931
Milk Sickness struck its terrible blow again at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning as Ina Mae Moss, 18, daughter of James Moss, 10th district farmer, succumbed to the effects of drinking poisoned milk.
Funeral services were conducted for the beautiful young high school student at the home Tuesday afternoon by Dr Harry L Upperman, president of Baxter Seminary, to which institution Miss Moss was to return next week to finish her senior year. Burial was in Leftwich cemetery, beside a sister who died in October and 2 brothers who were also victims of milk poisoning.
Ina Mae's condition was believed by physicians to be slightly improved and plans to remove her to a dormitory room at Baxter Seminary had been made by Dr Upperman, who was to give her her final year of school there. She was stricken again Monday night, however, and never recovered.
Ina Mae was the 4th of the children of Jim Moss to die of the illness; the first being Arthur, 14 and then James, 9, then Odessa.
Mrs. Moss, who barely escaped death several weeks ago as a result of drinking the infected milk, was reported as being improved Tuesday, she being able to be up. She still suffers from the ravages of the disease, and is not thought to be out of danger. Another son, Ray, 11, who was among the first to be stricken, is still in bed critically ill.
