| TYPHOID OUTBREAK IN LURGAN
Yesterday typhoid, broke out at Lurgan in a family which numbered five persons. They were very poor and possessed only one bed and one set of bedclothes. Their wearing apparel was also scanty. The patient was removed to hospital, his clothing being taken away to be disinfected. The covering of the
bed and the clothing of those who had come into contact with him were also seized and kept for several days, with the result that the family was left practically without clothing. At a meeting of the Lurgan Town Council the town constable said that “In some poor districts the people had no beds nothing but
a 'shakedown' on the floor.” The sanitary committee were directed to make arrangements so that in future poor people should not be left without clothing.

The information on this website is free and will always be so. However, there are many documents and records that we would like to show here that are only available for sale. If you would like to make a donation to the Lurgan Ancestry project, however small (or large!), to enable us to acquire these records, it would be very much appreciated. We could cover our pages in Goggle Ads to raise money, but feel that this would detract from the information we are trying to provide.
You can also help us to raise money by purchasing some of our ebooks on our sister website: www.genealogyebooks.com
