Nygren Gust 160108 p1
Falls Victim To Dread White Plague;  New Year's Day was a sad one for the family of Gust Nygren of Walnut avenue,
for death came with the new year and summoned the eldest son, Gustaf Elmer Nygren, a youth of about eighteen years.
The boy was the victim of the dreaded white plague, death being caused by pulmonary tuberculosis.  He had suffered
from illness for some time, but was always hopeful until physicians told him that he had tuberculosis.  After learning the
cause of his trouble he went to bed, apparently giving up all hope, and it was with difficulty that he was persuaded to eat
anything.  Gradually he grew weaker, and with the passing of the old year his troubled spirit passed to the beyond.
The body of the deceased was shipped Monday by Davis & Evans, the local undertakers, to Santa Rosa, where the
funeral was held that afternoon, interment being beside the boy's mother, who died there about eighteen months ago.
