Mrs. Cooley Passes Away
Contributed

Just before the midnight bell
sounded on Saturday night the spirit
of Mrs. w. F. Cooley passed to the
Infinite Beyond and with the new
born Sabbath day was ushered into
the preesnce of her Heavenly Father.
He illness had been only since Thurs
day night and had not been consid-
cred serious until Saturday afternoon
when symptoms developed showing
that peritonitis was the cause of the
suffering which had become intense,
and though every medical attention
was given and every possible care
bestowed all was of no avail and
death came as relief to the suffer
ings which had been so patiently
borne.
The sad news of her demise was a
terrible shock to the community
where she has been so long and fav-
orably known, while the immediate
neighborhood seemed pressed into an
I impenetrable gloom.
The funeral services were held at
the home conducted by Rev. Powell
of the Methodist church on Tuesday
afternoon, Nov. 9Th and beneath
mounds of most beautiful flowers, she
was laid to rest in Summit cemetery.
Anna, daughter of John and AL
bertha Geiser, was born on a farm
near Monticello, Mimi, Oct. 6, 1870.
She attended the rural school dur
ing her early years, then entered
the Monticello High School from
which she was graduated in 1892.
She Immediately entered upon the
profession of teaching and devoted
about eleven years to this work !;
more than half of that time in the
schools of Morris.
She was married to VIM. F. Cooley
on Aug. 5th, 1908, since which date
she has made her home here in Nor
ris. By this marriage she assumed
mothers responsibility, in caring
for his three children, then of tender
years. Nobly has she discharged
this responsibility, and gladly do
they all accord to her their appreci-
alton and love, and with their father
deeply mourn the loss of a devoted
wife and mother. She has ever been

FLU UNDER CONTROL
AT CAMP DODGE, IOWA
Carolyn Schlattman Writes Of Con-
ditions There During the
Epidemic

Mrs. Ray Roberts has received a
letter from her sister, Miss Carolyn
Schlattman, now located at Camp
Dodge as nurse, in which she tells
of conditions at Camp Dodge when in
fluenza was at it's height. The letter
follows:
ST am all o. K. and have been all
the time. I was a little under the
weather for a day or two, but did
not go off duty, and worked it off.
Well, we certainly worked. Things
are quieting down again, and am
not nearly as tired out as I was for
a while, although we have enough to
do to keep us on the job all the time
now.
1--WE have been quarantined for al
most month now, and we expect the
quarantine to be lifted almost any
time. We were only allowed to go
from our rooms to our wards, and
back again. The doctor ordered me
to wear my glasses, but broke them
I haven't been able to get them fixed
and I have had quite a bit of head
ache. I expect to go to Des Moines
most any day now and I shall get
them fixed.
I'm your letter, you said there
were quite a number of cases of in
fluenza in Morris. Well here, when
the rush was at its height, we had
over 1900 cases admitted to the hos
pital. in one day; 1900 another day,
ETC., etc. don't know how many
cases there were altogether, but it
certainly kept us rushing. Over 100
(about 1859 nurses were sick, three
died.
"They had all the soldiers in the
barracks near to the hospital move
out, and turned their quarters into
an emergency hospital. I had charge
of one of these barracks. 1t con-
tanned 154 influenza patients. I had
two student nurses to help me and we
were certainly rushed, to even do the
necessary things for our boys. We
gave them their meals, medicines and
took temperatures, swabbed their
Threats, etc. We had to keep a chart
for each one, so the doctor could
know their temperatures, etc., and
have a daily record of the number OF
patients with their name, rank, num-
Der, company, etc., and we were sc

rushed that I usually stayed after
the night nurse came on and worked
at my books until 10 or II o'clock.
The emergency nurses were not re-
sponsible for how things went, SO
the A. N. C.'s bore the most Of the
burden. I used to think of you and
your big report, when was working.
"They called in all kinds of Civil
ian and student nurses to help during
the epidemic. We were glad to see
them come and just as glad to see
them go. They are gradually send
ing them away, but there are an aw-
full lot of new Red Cross nurses COM
ing in, and I imagine that as soon
as the quarantine is lifted big
bunch of us will be sent to France.
I expect to be one of them but we
never know. They give us only "a
or SO hours notice before we go, so
we have to be half prepared all the
time.
The quarantine is off in camp
now and we can go any place in
camp, but we can't go out Of camp
to Des Moines or any place like that.
Cali during this epidemic we have
had to wear masks, caps and gowns.
I think you have seen doctor when
he is dressed up for an operation.
Well that is how we looked. Our
masks were made of four thicknesses
of gauze and were large enough to
cover our mouth, nose and lower
half of our face. We wore them
whenever we entered the hospital
and until we left it. I liked it in
the barracks where we had $50 pa
tients even if we did have to work
hard, and I felt lonesome when we
closed it up.
ST hope that this will find you
we'll, and you need not worry about
me. I am never sickly as you all
know.
Love to you all, from your
affectionate,
Carolyn"

Therefore, all available strength was
employed.
Throughout all these actions the re-

steadiness, with the inniction OF ter

the minimum OF damages TO the allied
armies.
On Tuesday the advance continued
steadily all along the line, passing
Noyon and Roye and practically
reaching the edges OF the area
Evacuated by the Germans in the
spring OF 1917. On Wednesday a
British counter attack recovered
something like FIVE miles depth of
territory along the Somme, and there
was no advance in the north, but the
middle OF the salient was extended
perhaps two or three miles. On
Thu.day, with the line practically
held in the north, the Germans shift

Arrss and Lens and succeeded in drive
