Article Title: Reno Weekly Gazette
Article Date: April 10 1879
Article Description: The Crimson Scourge (Johnson)
Article Text:
Dr. SNOW informaed a Gazette reporter Monday that there was little hope of saving the two
surviving children of Isaac JOHNSON. The ravages of Scarlet Fever in this family was
spoken of some time ago in the Gazette. There were six children in the family and all were
down at the same time. Four have died, two were buried the same day and the remaining two
are lying at deaths door with scarcely a hope of recovery. The last death, that of the
youngest child, occured Sunday. This unfortunate family has seemed to have drained the
full cup of human woe. Mr JOHNSON has almost been beggard by his children's sickness
and now it appears that he is to be left childless.
