FOURTH VICTIM WAS SUMMONED
Little Augusta Crapo Succumbs to Dread
Disease. Authorities Decide Schools Should Not Be Closed
The Angel of Death called for little Augusta Crapo on Sunday afternoon, and today it is our painful duty to chronicle the passing of the fourth victim of the dread illness which so recently came to desolate two homes of Napa.
Little Augusta had been sinking rapidly ever since last Friday and the news tidings of Sunday did not come unexpectedly.
Deceased was 5 years of age and a native of Napa.
The sorrow-stricken mother, a brother, A. Brockoff, and a sister, Mrs. R. G. Graham, of Phelan, San Bernardino county survive.
The funerals of both Augusta and Clarence, the little brother, taken a few days previously, were held at 10:30 o’clock this morning front the G. G. Pinkham undertaking parlors.
Rev. Richard Wylie officiated. Interment was made in Tulocay cemetery.
Will Not Close Schools
Dr. Kelly and Dr. Gilliam were down from Sacramento on Saturday afternoon consulting with Health Officer Hackett regarding the mysterious illness among children of Napa. It was agreed that the best way to handle the situation would be to keep the schools open so that any children taken sick could be immediately reported to the Red Cross nurse and the case given prompt attention. If the schools were closed it would be far more difficult to maintain accurate check on the youngsters.
Dr. Racket reported today that no more cases had been reported to him.
There have been but six in all.
