Answer to letter of inquiry Gertrude Doxey Osterloh sent to Ogden City Cemetery September 11, 1951:
"Our records are very meagre on these dates you mention but we do have this much information. Doxey, Daughter of ------- Born in England, Died July 19, 1885 at Ogden, Utah of Summer complaint, age 4 months, 15 days, Joseph Allen, Dr. This is the only Doxey we have at that time and you could figure the birth date as March 4, 1885. Hope this may help you.

Irene Shipley, clerk.NOTE: In 1906, physicians in Cincinnati established a milk commission, which called for a national conference to be held on June 3, 1907, in Atlantic City. The Atlantic City meeting established the American Association of Medical Milk Commissions. One concern of the association was the number of infants who died from severe diarrhea, or “summer complaint” (identified also in historical documents as being cholera or severe gastroenteritis). “Summer complaint” sounds trivial, but its effects were deadly. Doctors often pointed their fingers at milk that had not been kept cool.
ALSO: summer's complaint
See cholera infantum. In many cases this could have been food poisoning, from poorly handled or spoiled food.
