This was the first of five of Henry Green's children who died in November of 1878 of diphtheria.
"Last Sunday Henry Green, of Garden Valley, this county, an old comrade of ours in the army, had four children lying dead in his house, three of them dying that day and one the day before. This makes five children he has lost with that dread disease-–diphtheria--within three weeks. Our old friend is very unfortunate, and is entitled to the sympathy of all in his great affliction. The dreaded disease is all around us, and may reach this place in a short time. Whenever it appears among the children no time should be lost in sending for a physician. It is disease that needs immediate and skillful treatment." Badger State Banner of Jackson County dated November 22, 1878
1878-1879 was a heavy outbreak of the disease. Coincidentally, diphtheria hit the English royal court in November, 1878, taking Princess Alice's little daughter, Marie, grandchild of Queen Victoria, as one of its victims on the 15th. The child's mother, Princess Alice (Queen Victoria's third child) contracted diphtheria and died that December.
