Aggregate
Interments-Progress
of Cholera at Lafayette, &c.
"We are under obligation of Mr. Meek, one of
the sextons of the
burying grounds of this city, for the following list of
persons who
have
died of cholera and other disease since the 3d of this
month,
about the time this
dreaded disease
first made its appearance amongst us. It will
found interesting
to
friends at a distance, serve as a suitable reference for
the future,
and
contradict the erroneous reports abroad in the land, in
relation to the
fatality of the disease amongst us. It has been
reported that we
are burying on a average
from twelve
to fifteen per day, which will be perceived, by official
statements
which
follow, to be quite incorrect. Some days, the
interments, from all
diseases,
may have reached the number reported, but no two days
together will
furnish
grounds for any such an average, and certainly the
sexton's report is
to
be strictly relied upon, for in no instance, we may
reasonably suppose,
has any one died, but what has been buried in some of
our burying
grounds,
and a list kept, from which we get the following
copy. In some
instances
the names may be spelled wrong as they were rather badly
written by the
friends and relatives of the deceased, at the time of
interment, but in
most cases may be understood."

"The
success with
which our physicians have treated the cholera for the
last week or two,
speaks well; as in almost every instance where they have
had timely notice,
the disease has been checked, and the patient entirely
restored to
health.
At least three-fifths of the cases attacked, have found
relief,
when a
physician was immediately called."
