              Deaths on Washington Island
              
              Death, in the form of that insiduous disease
            la grippe, has entered the households of two
            families on the island within the last week and
            claimed a victim. The first was that of MRS.
            RAGNHILDER JOHNSON, who was taken ill on Christmas
            day and died the following Friday. Being past 85
            years of age she was unable to shake off the dread
            malady. The funeral was held on Monday and inter-
            ment took place in the Washington Harbor cemetery,
            alongside the remains of her husband who preceded
            her about eight months ago. He was older than she
            at the time of his death, the couple being the
            oldest in the community, if not in the county.
            MRS. JOHNSON was a native of Iceland and widow
            of the late GUMLAUGERSON JOHNSON.
            
              MRS. MORRIS OTTOSEN passed away at her home
            on Sunday evening, the cause of death being
            pneumonia. Some two weeks ago MRS. OTTOSEN
            gave birth to a daughter, which lived but a
            few hours. In her weakened condition she was
            taken ill with the grippe, which developed
            into pneumonia. Deceased was a daughter of
            CAPT. G. GOODLETSON, who is well known in
            marine circles as the master of the schooner
            Lucy Graham. MR. OTTOSEN the widower, is the
            oldest son of L. P. OTTOSEN, postmaster at
            Washington Harbor. This is an exceptionally
            sad case as the husband and father is left
            with three motherless children, the eldest
            being a girl of 13, a boy, 9, and a baby boy
            of 4. The sympathy of all on the island goes
            out to him in this hour of his great trial
            and grief.
