“Died…Frances Ann Criss, a respectable colored girl in the family of Dr. Rhoades died on Sunday morning [July 18], after an illness of only eight hours. A post mortem examination revealed the rupture of a blood vessel. This had doubtless been caused by vomiting, when first attacked with cholera morbus on Saturday evening.”
