The Pike County Journal.
Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, Jan. 31, 1896

Tax Collector Carriker gave us a call Monday. He reports Mrs. Nancy
Scoggin quite ill at his home.  She is Mrs. Carriker's mother and is
noted as one of the most pious women in the county. She is now in her
92nd year. Eresypelas [Erysipelas],* or something of that nature is the
cause of her illness.
