B. Meech succumbed to the disease Wednesday night. The young man was first taken with the disease a couple of years ago. In spite however of good medical attendance he gradually grew worse and several months ago he went to Texas and other southern states where he hoped the climate would be beneficial. He found the climate there not what was expected and gradually grew worse. A few weeks ago he returned home, Mrs. Meech going to Chicago to accompany him the balance of the trip. He seemed to recover somewhat upon his return and it was hoped by his many friends that he was on the road to recovery.
