Smallpox In Pike

Volney Smith, the 20 year old son of J.E. Smith, of near Hope, died Saturday of 
smallpox and was buried Saturday night very quietly.

About three weeks ago a disease which was thought to be smallpox appeared in 
the family of Mr. Smith, but Dr. Graves, the attending physician, pronounced it 
something else and little attention was given it.

Volney was the fifth member to be attacked with the dread disease, but the 
others have recovered. The family are kept under strict quarantine so there is 
but little danger of the disease spreading.

There are other members of Mr. Smith’s family who have not been afflicted with 
the disease and may escape entirely. There seems to be none of the symptoms in 
any other family in the neighborhood.
