So the brain is involved. Meningitis is a real possibility, or at least some
sort of frenetic inflammatory fever. The man - Captain Samuel Childs -
who had it seems to have been a young man, in his 20's. He traveled
overseas regularly.

He was the father of Chief Coiner George Killinger Childs.

Thanks, Terry.
