Waddell, who formerly lived here and who had many relatives and friends in Polk. After sleeping continuously for six days and nights, Mrs. M. F. Waddell, who is believed to be the second person here to contract the "sleeping sickness disease," died at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon at her residence, 243 Kennedy Street. "Mrs. Waddell began her long sleeping period last Tuesday, attending physicians say, after she had first begun to improve from pneumonia brought on by influenza. All efforts to arouse her were of no avail, and the injection of serums to stimulate her heart action did not serve to keep her condition from growing weaker daily. "She is survived by her husband M. F. Waddell, an Atlanta grocer; one daughter, Mrs. F. G. Hudson; four sons, W. M., A. L., G. L. and J. M. Waddell, and by four brothers, W. M., R. F., S. B. and J. F. Golden. The body will be sent to Bremen today."
