Obituary- Parr, Katharine

Diphtheria's Victim. - The little two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Parr, living south of Rossville, passed away last Friday night after a brief struggle with diphtheria. The contagious nature of the disease made it impracticable to hold regular funeral services, and the body was quietly laid to rest in the city cemetery the following day. Two other children in the same family are also afflicted, but at last reports were improving nicely. General sympathy is expressed for the stricken family.

[From The Rossville News, Friday, October 5, 1900]
