Mrs.
Media and several children, living in the Empire Block, were
reported last week to be suffering from the epidemic.
One little girl, Lillie,
aged 7 years, died on 16 Oct 1918, and on Friday, when the Emergency Hospital was
opened, the mother and one daughter, Frances Kate, were taken there
for treatment.
The latter was then
practically in a dying condition, and early Sunday morning, died at
the hospital. The mother is still very ill, but other members of the
family are recovering.
Pte. Stephen Joseph Medai, a
member of the 133rd Battalion, has been on the fighting line for
some months, and won distinction.
Rv. Father Nagle was the
officiating clergyman at the funerals of the two girls.
