Mount Desert Herald
Miss Marie Stewart, of Bangor, who has been very ill with dipbtherta at the Summit House, Green Mountain, died yesterday. Many persons have wondered how she could take dipbtheria on Green Mountain, and the sickness certainly was caused in a very peculiar manner. It seems that in her rumbles on the side of the mountain, she came upon an old diseased well. Being very thirsty, she made a small birch bark cup, and took a drink of the water. Soon after she was taken violently ill.
