YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
A Memphis Lady, Who Takes the
Disease az Home, Dies In
This City.

Chattanooga Times, August 1871
Mrs. Jeanette Schwarzenburg, |
of Memphis, aged forty, died yes
terday at the residence Of Jacob |
Bach, Esq, on Cherry street, near
Eighth, of a well-developed case of
yellow fever. She was attended by
DR.. p. D. Sims. Mrs. Schwarzen-
burg left Memphis Tuesday, the
18th inst, and reached here the
evening of the 14th complaining,
and on 10Th DR.. Sims was called.
Mr.. N. Shwarzenburg, who is a
manufacturer and wholesale dealer
in stoves and tinware, 23O Main
Memphis, became frightened when
a case Of yellow fever made its ap-
pearanee on the same square where
he resided-Poplar street, we be-
lieve-and ran away with his wife
and family, consisting of two boys
and five girls, two Of the latter be-
ing married. Mrs. Schwarzenburg,
it is said, was so frightened that
(the day being washday) she left
her wash in the tubs and her plates
and dishes on the table, not taking
time to straighten up her house.
Mrs. Bach being a sister of Mr..
/ Schwarzenburg, the family came
here. She died at IL o'clock yes
terday morning, and was buried at
3 o'clock. The clothing and bed
clothes, and other things likely to
hold the poison, were burned and
the house thoroughly disinlected.
All rumors to the contrary, not
withstanding at 8 o'clock last night
no member Of the household was
complaining or i'll. The house has
been locked up and vacated and
} the Bach and Schwarzenburg
families will leave the city this
morning and 90 into the country.
Not a member of the household
will be left in town. Mrs. Schwar-
zenburg hurried the disease by her

T nearly frightened to death.

with n purpose to seize the right bank
of the Rio Grande. What would follow

II hastened to conceal itself under the

so when very fine large hunting wasp
buzzed in at the open window, and flew
about the room evidently in search of
something. Finding nothing, the wasp
returned to the open window. and set
