Pneumonia at Jericho

New York, 1895

At Jericho a dozen cases of pneumonia have been reported. The family of Patrick Hines is sorely afflicted. On Thursday evening an infant child was taken ill and on Saturday both Mr. and Mrs. Hines were stricken with pneumonia. Tuesday morning Mrs. Hines died, and Mr. Hines is very low.
