Wilmington Journal; 9 May 1845
We clip the following from the last Tarboro' Press:
"Black Tongue - We learn that on Saturday last, Mr Henry Dicken, of this county,
died with this dreadful disease - and that Mr Larkey Savage and wife, living
near Mr Dicken, died with the same disease a few days previous. Mr Dicken was in
the 45th year of his age, and had been married only about two months.
"This distressing disease is creating consternation in various parts of the
country. In Northampton and  Halifax counties, we learn, several deaths have
occurred. And the Raleigh papers now admit the disease is prevailing there. We
know of no other cases than those above state in this county."
