The funeral for Joseph Feldman who died Saturday in Chicago was held there last Monday. Interment followed in a Jewish cemetery. Feldman had been in Chicago for treatment of a brain disease after influenza, then died of sleeping sickness. He came to the United States 11 years ago and would have completed naturalization in two months. He was with the firm Finkel & Feldman for eight years and belonged to I O C F. He is survived by his wife, 21 months old son Maurice, his mother, and one sister.
The first fatality among 15 illness cases resembling sleeping sickness was Feldman. Death certificates list lethargic encephalitis. Fifteen Chicago cases include Miss Lydie Gray in an 18 day coma. Health officials note many doctors doubt a true sleeping sickness, citing Africa as the only known region and frequent fatal outcomes.
