A Death From Polio.
Case of Mrs. Ondenia Schultz, 27, First in County.
Mrs. Ondenia SCHULTZ, 27 years old, of 1013 Connecticut street, died at Memorial
hospital early this morning for infantile paralysis of the bulbar type after an
illness starting last Sunday. She went tot he hospital only yesterday. Her
physician, who was called onto the case last Tuesday, said Mrs. Schultz reported
she first noticed difficulty in swallowing last Sunday. The bulbar type of th
edisease that was fatal to Mrs. Schultz attacks the medulla oblongata, or upper
part of the spine and results in paralysis of the respiratory tract muscles.
The case was the first and only one reported in Douglas county thus far in the
present epidemic situation that has been reported existing in the state.
The management of the hospital said this afternoon that as a precautionary
measure in view of the epidemic of the disease in th estate, they are urging
that children not be taken to the hospital anymore than necessary and that
visiting to the hospital be curtailed as much as possible.
Mrs. Schultz is survived by her husband, John Schultz, a young son, John Jr.,
and a brother, Leslie J. MOORE. The body will be sent to Tulsa, Okla., for burial.
