THIRD DEATH FROM PARROT FEVER
NEW YORK; Jan. 13 (AP) – While bacteriologists conducted final tests in their efforts to isolate the bacilli of psitacosis or parrot fever, a third death and several additional cases of illness were attributed to the disease today.
The death of Mrs. William Shields, 51, of Freeport, Pa. was ascribed to parrot fever after an autopsy. She was stricken a week after receiving a parrot for a Christmas gift. The bird later died. Mrs. Shield’s 14 year old [grand]daughter [Lorraine Agnes Walker Stover, who survived] is seriously ill with a malady similar to that which caused her [grand]mother’s death.
