Fever Cause of His Death Marion Dumas Stricken - Died Within Three Days

The death of Marion Dumas occurred with startling suddenness Thursday last. Mr. Dumas had been ill and, it later developed, he likely had scarlet fever.

Was About City,

He came down town and mingled with friends a short time, returning home he became sick and three days afterwards died.

All Contracted Disease.

Later Mrs. Dumas and the three children broke out with scarlet fever.

A Private Burial.

Sunday, from Cleland's Funeral Home, private burial services were held. Deceased was a fine young man and was a general favorite in Ukiah. He was born in Healdsburg and was 33 years of age. A widow, Mrs. Lola Ball Dumas, and three small children, Ronald, Shirley and Barbara survive. Mrs. Dumas is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Ball, of Ukiah, and a sister of Mrs. Lilburn I. Gibson and Mrs.Harold Holliday, of the Ukiah Valley, and of Ernest Ball, Alameda, and Irvin Ball, of Talmage.

Had Been Laid Up.

Early in December, it appears, Mr. Dumas while working at the Odell ranch--the former Shortt estate--was kicked by a horse, suffering a broken leg. Mr. Dumas went home to recuperate and for about five weeks had been incapacitated from work. He was convalescing and the trip he made to town three days before he contracted scarlet fever and died, was one of the first attempt to get about the unfortunate man had made.
