"From the Pell City Echo. The 'angel of death' has laid his cold hand
very heavily on the house of J. J. Willingham who lives about four miles
from this place. We are informed that at the time of this writing three
corpses are lying in the room at his dwelling, while two or three other
members of the family are suffering from the scorching fever of
pneumonia. On last Saturday night his daughter-in-law, the wife of
Robert Willingham, died. On Monday night his wife died and on Sunday
Susie Willingham, the daughter of Robert Willingham, also died. Robert
Willingham went to Tennessee several days ago and left his family well. 
Owing to - failed to convey the sad news to him until his mother, wife
and daughter were cold in death. Who can imagine the sorrow of this man
on receiving this news. The bodies will be buried at the Coosa Valley
burying ground. They intend for the burial to take place about
Wednesday at 10 o'clock, provided Robert Willingham returns by that
time. We extend to the bereaved families and friends of the deceased
our heart felt sympathies in this great bereavement and pray God that he
may comfort them in their sorrows and that he may speedily raise those
of the family who are still suffering from their beds of affliction and
restore them to health." (1)
