HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY 187
The next Avas on the 12th of July, in the practice of Doctor Donahoo,
that of.a Avoman just arrived from Dayton, and soon after died. On the
morning of the 14th I Avas called to see a seaman on board the schooner
Velocity, direct from Detroit, Avho was far advanced in the complaint
and Avas carried to the hospital, then just opened, where he subsequently
died.
On November 22,1849, the Sandusky Clarion published the folloAving
article:
'' We lay before our readers today as perfect a list of victims of cholera
as Ave have been able to obtain. We doubt not that there are many
that have been overlooked, but a great deal of care has been taken to
make the table as correct as possible. It was impossible to ascertain the
names of many persons Avho were knoAvn to have died of cholera.
"The first case of cholera occurred on or near Mondjty, the 2d day of
July, and the last in the city of which Ave have any account was on the
7th day of September, thus lingering in our midst for sixty-eight days.
"We publish the names of 365 in alphabetical order. Of this number,
138 Avere given at the time the death occurred; which Avas all we could
obtain from our best authorities. We have looked over the list and added
dates to all those which were known to us. We would publish the number
of deaths each day during the scourge, if Ave had the data to Avork from, v
but such was the excitement that prevailed, that it could not be kept.
The greatest number of burials were on Monday the 30th of July.
"If there are any mistakes in this list we hope those who know the facts
will inform us that we may correct them.
