On This Date in Minnesota History: January 16

January 16, 1904 – An appeal for medical aid was received in Duluth tonight from the village of Grand Marais, on the north shore, to assist in stopping an epidemic of diphtheria, which has already caused two deaths this week. Dr. Husen, the physician attending the patients in Grand Marais, was stricken Thursday and is in critical condition. Since that time those suffering from the disease have been without medical attention. 

The Saint Paul Globe; “Grand Marais Asks Duluth for Doctors. Local Physician Battling Diphtheria Epidemic is Stricken.”; Jan. 17, 1904; p. 9.
