Cause Of Death: CHOLERA

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Colera in Salem Township-Warren County

Mr. Denny:-Having noticed an article in your paper of the 17th, headed "cholera in Salem township," which seems to imply that none of the neighbors went near to Mr. Lundy's to render any assistance, being present, we propose to give a version of the case.

On Friday evening, Mr. Lundy was taken bad and sent for Doct. Walden who staid all night. Mr. L. died about 5 A.M. on Saturday. None of the neighbors knew anything of his case until a few minutes before he died. As soon as we knew it we went there, together with Mr. Getzendiner, David Cadwalader, Mrs. Getzendiner, Mr. Shaver's Daughter, Mr. Bowman's Daughter, Mrs. Trickey, and rendered all the service in our power. Mrs. Lundy's mother was also there.

On Saturday morning, Mrs. Lundy was taken, and Doct. W. was again sent for. Enoch, the young man who died Sunday night, was also taken. Doct. W. was there nearly all day, and was there on Sunday. There were several of the neighbor women there on Sunday and laid Mr. Lundy out. Sunday afternoon, Doct. Scott was called, and brought Mr. Boot with him as a nurse. On Monday, all the family that was able left the house.

Alexander Goodwin, a son-in-law of Mr. L., and his wife, took the disease. Wm. Goodwin went and staid nine days with them. Lewis Goodwin was there several days. No woman went there to stay, until Wednesday, when Jane Webb went there and stayed there three days in the day time. There were some sisters and brothers, and mother of the family who never came near to assist at all.

As respects Mr. Getzendiner, none of his neighbors knew of his case until he was dead. He died about daybreak in the morning and was interred on the same day. The relations say the doctor laid him straight in the bed. They thought it most advisable to let him remain so until they could get a coffin. At the burying, Wm. Trickey made enquiry who was to go to assist in taking care of the sick at Mr. Lundy's. Benjamin Baldwin said he thought Thomas M. Laura would-he called him and he consented.

We give these circumstances in detail that the public may judge as they think right. We think that the gentlemen, who came from Morrow, deserve great praise for their services.

N.B.-The number of cases of cholera in our neighborhood, 17 in all-6 deaths, 5 of cholera, and 1 summer complaint.
