"Idaho Falls Boy, 12, Dies of Meningitis"
William Craig Mace, 12, son of Clyde W. and Anna Ellen Quigg Mace, Rt. 4, died Wednesday (10 Feb 1965) morning of meningitis in an Idaho Falls (Idaho) hospital. It was believed the first such death from this cause here in several years.
Bonneville County Health Director Dr. John Casper said the boy's family was being treated in isolation to prevent spread of the disease and that other persons, including students were being advised to seek preventive medical attention.
Dr. Casper said there is no cause for panic or alarm and that a single, isolated case of meningitis is not uncommon.
He said county and state health officials were studying the case attempting to find out what kind of meningitis was responsible and to prevent spread of the disease in the community.
Dr. Casper said he was informed of the case and the death by officials at an Idaho Falls hospital Wednesday. He added that he is fairly sure of the diagnosis of meningitis.
Young Mace was born July 26, 1952, in Idaho Falls and was a student at Longfellow School. He was a member of the 4-H Club, Methodist Youth Fellowship and Boy Scouts.
Survivors include his parents and three sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Bob (Janice) Gobbert, Hampton, Va.; Barbara Ann, Jolene, Vernon and Douglas Mace, all of Idaho Falls.
A grandmother, Mrs. W.F. Mace, Spokane, Wash. also survives.
