Murphysboro Daily Independent, October 11, 1920 
 
Lena Hunziker Dreaded Diphtheria Victim

Patient Died at 1 a.m. of Aggravated Case of Disease-Her Condition Also
Tubercular-Private Funeral Tuesday

    Lena HUNZIKER, 11 year old, daughter of Fred HUNZIKER, and beloved like a
daughter by Mrs. David WEATHERS, with whom she lived at 1826 Elm Street, died of
diphtheria at that address at 4 o'clock Monday morning.  The case was an
aggravated one probably because of lack of adequate professional attention in
time, with the added superinduction of a tubercular condition.

    The little one had been ill but one week.  The case is one of several which
have been reported in Murphysboro-one of the worst.  It was hinted some days ago
that there is a diphtheria case or two not reported to the city hall.

    The funeral will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday.  It was necessarily
private.  Burial at Poplar Ridge.
