OBITUARY:
MUSSER--At the family home, corner of Court and Water streets, on Tuesday evening, at 10:40 o'clock October 10, 1899, Elmer Musser, aged about 27 years.
Deceased is one of the patients afflicted with what has been pronounced smallpox by the city physician. He was a brother of Mrs. Wm. Battersby, whose case was the first one reported in the city, several weeks ago. At the same house Mrs. Musser, mother of Mrs. Battersby, is lying very low with the disease, as is also a young child. There is no other case in the city excepting the one at the pest house. Mrs. Battersby is now fully recovered from the scourge. She is the only well person in the house, excepting a Chinese nurse. It is to be presumed that the authorities will exercise due care in arranging for the burial of the deceased. Oregon Statesman 11 October 1899 8:4.
