WILLIAM KIVIS

William Kivis, small pox victim, died in the shanty on the island in the Mississippi River last Friday evening, and was immediately buried in a shallow grave where he died. The water in the river was so high that no spot of ground could be found on the island where they could dig down three feet without striking water. Dr. Hollister, who attended Mr. Kivis, says the immediate cause of his death was pneumonia, brought on by exposure, hunger and hardships incurred since he was put off the Libbie Conger some where above Dubuque. The poor man's home is in Woodville, Mississippi, where he said he had a mother residing. [Bellevue Leader, Bellevue, Jackson County, Iowa - May 8, 1884 - Submitted by Ken Wright]
