STILLSON:  In Masonville [Delaware Co. NY], March 30, 1875, Miss Florence Stillson, aged 15 years.

Mr. Editor:  As measles are the order of the day in your town as well as others, I would say that Afton [Chenango Co. NY] would not be an exception to the general rule, so we have measles to report here, and in some cases, they have proved very serious.  Hobert Gridley, son-in-law of Michael Sexsmith, of this town, died of measles on Wednesday night of last week, at Mr. Sexsmith's and the next morning the death of Mrs. Sexsmith mother-in-law of Mr. Gridley, was announced of the same disease, making two deaths in one family in a few hours.  The rest of the family were sick at the same time, but it was thought at last accounts that they were likely to recover. We learn that the wife and child of Mr. Gridley are very sick at Oneonta with the same disease.
