Obituary- Houghtoling, George

Two Deaths From Pnemonia [sic]
Rossville people have been made to realize that the influenza epidemic is a serious proposition and patients are beginning to realize that leaving their beds too quickly after the fever is broken, is a dangerous move.

The deaths here this week were due at least in part, to premature activities after the patient began to feel better, with the result that pneumonia quickly developed and death occured within 48 hours. Besides the death of Jimmie Swinehart Monday night, Geo. Houghtoling, employed by L. P. Hartzell, died Wednesday. Mr. Houghtaling is comparatively a stranger here, coming here early in the summer and working thru most of the haying season with G. M. McPherson. Mr. Houghtoling was known better to his fellow workmen as “Shorty” and was a reliable, hardworking man.

His brother living in Barber County was notified of his death and interment will be made in the Rossville cemetery.
