ELI DEATSMAN DIED TUESDAY EVENING
Two Apparently Healthy People Contract Typhoid From Germs From Open Well. Both 
Die, Leave Three Sons.

Eli Deatsman who has lingered along for days almost at the point of death gave 
up the struggle Tuesday evening at eleven o'clock.

Six weeks ago Mrs Deatsman was taken with the disease and died after tree weeks 
illness. Five weeks ago. Mr Deatsman took the disease and died Tuesday evening 
as above mentioned.

Upon examination of the water germs were discovered and the water discarded.
The well is a fifteen inch tile well over a hundred feet deep but tiled to the 
surface, with a cement cover. It was thought to be germ proof.

The death of mr and Mrs Deatsman breaks up a beautiful home. They leave three 
sons; Forrest, married, Eddie and Kenneth in their teens.

These people have been active church workers for years and people highly 
respected and beloved by all. Surely it is a calamity and the children have the 
deep sympathy of all.

The funeral will be held Friday. Further arrangements as time and place are not 
arranged as we go to press.
