1 Oct 1880 Dillard We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Chancellor Dillard, which occurred on the 1st inst., after long and severe suffering, during which the sympathies of the community were enlisted on her behalf.
Oct 1880 Huffman Death from Hydrophobia.

We regret to hear of the death of David Huffman, son of Mr. T. H. Huffman, who lives in the neighborhood of Foster's Settlement, Tuscaloosa county. He died from Hydrophobia on Saturday morning last. About the 7th or 8 of September he was bitten several times by a small dog, thought at the time to be rabid, but he improved and seemed to have recovered from the wounds but on Sunday, the 23rd ult., he complained that [the bites were] hurting him, also of the pains in his head. His father bathed and used such means as he thought to have soothed the sufferer, but on Tuesday following, fever arose and he continued to grow worse until Saturday morning last when he died.  Drs. Parker and Nichols were with him during his illness and gave it as their opinion that he died of hydrophobia as every symptom of the disease was manifest throughout - going into convulsions when offered a glass of water. This is truly a melancholy case and the first death of a human being of this dreadful disease that we have heard of in the State. The afflicted parents have our sympathies, as David was a lovable and promising son.
