RITES SUNDAY
August Kurre, 47 years old, a farmer residing six miles from Cape Girardeau on the Perryville road, died of lymphatic leukemia at 6:15 o’clock Thursday night at Southeast Missouri Hospital. The disease is an infection poisoning the lymphatic glands, and, according to a physician, in this case the poison is believed to have originated from infected tonsils.
Mr. Kurre had been feeling ill since last November and his tonsils recently gave him considerable trouble. He was removed to the hospital Wednesday for a tonsillectomy, the tonsils having become so swollen that breathing was impaired.
