Smallpox in Wilkes County

Washington, Ga., Feb. 24 – Two cases of well developed smallpox are in Wilkes 
County.  One of the parties, Gabe Grant, lives on Ben Cade’s place, 3 miles 
from town and the other is a negro child on Aris Lindsey’s plantation, 4 miles 
north of the city.  Dr. John Hill has seen the Grant negro and says it is a 
genuine case of smallpox.  The disease is supposed to have been brought from 
Atlanta by a negro woman named Sissy Stark.
