Kay, Mrs. Thomas

  Mrs. Thomas Kay, aged 30, of Ralphton, died at her home Wednesday from 
starvation. She had recently suffered from an attack of diphtheria which 
resulted in paralysis of the throat. She was unable to swallow solid or liquid 
food and for eight weeks was kept alive by food administered by a tube in the 
throat. Stomach disorders developed and all nourishment had to be discontinued. 
Her two children are now suffering from diphtheria.
