Obituary June 25 1953 The Opp Dispatch (copy
on file with Robin Kline)
Antioch Resident is Fatally Stricken with Meningitis;
Lives Twelve Hours
James Wade Robbins, 61 dies at local hospital
Mon. Night County Health Officers take precautions to prevent spread.
James Wade Robbins, 61, a farmer of Route
2 Andalusia, died in an Andalusia Hospital, monday night, Jun 22 at nine
thirty o'clock. Mr. Robbins, a native of Covington County and a active
member of the Primitive Baptist church, was stricken with meningitis during
the early fore-noon Monday. His condition worsened as the day progressed
and he was rushed to Covington Memorial Hospital by Benson Ambulance late
monday evening.
Dr. C. D. McLeod, County Health officer, stated
Tuesday that the cause of Robbins' death, as diagnosed by him and four
local physicians was Meningococcus Meningitis.
According to Dr. McLeod this form of Meningitis
has one of the highest mortality rates of any disease known to medical
science.
It is highly contagious and attacks the human
body through the throat and nasal organs.
Dr. McLeod stated that he was at a lost as to
how Mr. Robbins contracted the dreaded disease but that he did not believe
that the county was threatened by an epidemic from this initial and isolated
case. County health officials and local physicians are taking all precautions
possible to prevent a spread of the disease and all persons known to have
been in contact with the victim have been given prophylactics. The preventive
treatment consist of 44 tablets to be taken every 4 hours by persons thought
to be exposed, and all neighbors, relatives, medical attendants and the
personnel of Benson's Funeral Home which came in contact with the victim
are taking these preventive measures.
Dr. McLeod emphasized the fact that Mr. Robbins
had recently been down in Florida on a ?? trip and said it was in ?? vicinity
that he probably ?? the meningitis germ. He said that he did not feel that
people in this section should become unduly alarmed. he did say however,
that anyone becoming ill should contact their physician immediately.
Mr. Robbins was living on the Eldridge Adams place
near Antioch at the time he was stricken.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. George Robbins
and his wife Alva Robbins, both of Route 2, Andalusia; one son, Harold
of Summerdale, Ala; one daughter, Virginia of Orlando, Fla.; two brothers,
H.P. Robbins, Andalusia, Route 3, and Edward Robbins, Andalusia, Route
6; three sisters, Mrs. Ester Henderson, Andalusia; Mrs. Bessie Wainwright,
Route 2 Andalusia, and Mrs. Laura Taylor, Moultrie, Ga.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday June 24
