Strange Disease at Geneva

Master John McCrary, the 15-year-old son of Mr. W.B. McCrary, residing near 
this place, died last Wednesday evening of what was supposed to be a most 
violent attack of brain fever.  He was taken suddenly and violently ill late in 
the afternoon of the day before, soon passed in to a state of unconsciousness, 
and was thrown into convulsions, which continued at intervals in quick 
succession until relieved by death.

A negro woman living on the place, who was employed as a cook for the family, a 
few hours after the death of the above mentioned, was stricken down in a 
similar manner, and in the most intense agony died early Thursday morning.
