Robert, Their Oldest Son, is Victim of the Spanish Influenza

A severe blow has come to Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Eberlein in the death of their son, Robert, who died Sunday evening at the parental home just after ten o’clock from pneumonia, brot [sic] on by the Influenza. During his short illness of eight days, hopes for recovery have risen and fallen and the boy has improved time and again only to relapse.

The lad was ten and a half years old. He had lived long enough to show that he had it in him to become a clean and praiseworthy man. He was bright and studious and added to those qualities, industry, which made for him a bright outlook for his future. His parents had the means and inclination to give him all opportunity for the developement [sic] that was bound to be his, but God of Destinies knew best and took him unto Himself.

He was the oldest son of a family of four. He was born in this city on March 18, 1908, and has attended both the public and St. Jacobi schools, and was exceptionally advanced for one of his years. The remaining children are Michael G., William, and Marjory. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Eberlein farm home. The Rev. Mr. Selle officiated, and the casket was carried to Woodlawn by William and Albert Beversdorf, William and Otto Regling, William Meyer, and Ed Rosseau, where the remains where laid away near the residence that has been the lad’s home. The whole county extends sincere sympathy to bereaved family.

DISEASE HELD IN CHECK IN CITY AND ONLY ONE CASE HAS BEEN SERIOUS
IMPROVING AT ALL THE CAMPS
Green Bay Reports That The Climax Has Passed There — Outlook Is Now Good

The Spanish Influenza epidemic is abating. In the city there are many cases but few of them are at all serious. Robert Eberlein, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Eberlein is the one in Shawano who has been very seriously sick with the disease, and even yet is not out of danger, although this afternoon he is improving [1]. Green Bay and Shawano were the hardest hit, and the report from Green Bay last night says that the epidemic is held in check there. Clintonville has had no cases, and practically none in London, Appleton, or Oconto. In the East around Boston where the epidemic started, the condition is very much improved, and the reports this morning from Camp Grant and Great Lakes say that conditions are getting better there.

The measures taken by the city authorities to check the spread of the influenza here have been to close the schools, churches, places of amusement, public and private gatherings as far as possible. Ice cream can not be eaten in community dishes but must be taken home. No crowds are allowed to loiter in places of business. Today’s report shows a great improvement everywhere, and it is hoped that in our next issue we can report the danger practically passed.
