What
is Cholera:
Cholera
is an illness caused by a germ invading the bowels.
The disease is usually spread by contaminated water
supplies. The main symptom is watery diarrhea
which leads to fluid depletion and death from
dehydration. Cholera has proven one of history's
most virulent killers. The cause was first
identified in 1854, and it was through cholera
epidemics that epidemiologists finally discovered the
link between sanitation and public health, which
provided the impetus for modern water and sewage
systems.
The
disease is stunning in its rapidity. The onset
of extreme diarrhea, sharp muscular cramps, vomiting
and fever, and then death-all can transpire within
12-48 hours. Fever is not one of the main
symptoms however. The great irony is that unlike
many infectious diseases, cholera is easily
treated. Death results from severe dehydration,
which can be prevented with a simple and inexpensive
rehydration solution.
If
you are traveling to cholera-endemic areas, just
follow these precautions:
Wash
your hands-thoroughly with hot soapy water, before
eating or preparing food, especially when returning
from public places. Use an alcohol-based hand
rub when water is not available.
Avoid
untreated water-drink only bottled carbonated water or
water you've boiled or disinfected yourself. Hot
beverages such as coffee and tea as well as bottled or
canned soft drinks, and wine and beer are generally
safe. Carefully wipe the outside of all bottles
and cans before you open them, and ask for drinks
without ice. Use bottled water to brush your
teeth.
Eat
your food hot-choose food that has been thoroughly
cooked and is served piping hot. Cholera
bacteria can survive on room temperature food for up
to five days and are not destroyed by freezing.
Best to avoid street food, but if you must buy from
local vendors, make sure your meal is cooked in your
presence and served hot.
No
sushi-Avoid raw fish and seafood of all kinds.
If
you eat fresh fruit and vegetables, make sure they are
cooked or have thick skins that you can peel yourself.
Avoid lettuce because it could have been rinsed with
contaminated water.
And
last, be careful with dairy foods, avoid ice cream
because it is often contaminated, and made from unpasteurized
milk.
Following
is a list of people who died in various communities of
Kentucky during the Cholera Epidemic of 1833. This
is wonderful information and contains names of persons who
lived in other states but were visiting Kentucky when they
contracted cholera and died.

Obituaries, 1787-1854
Compiled by G. Glenn Clift
This volume of genealogical notes together with the first
book--Kentucky Marriages 1797-1865 (published in the
Register April, 1938-October, 1940)-was taken from
newspaper files owned by and housed in the Lexington
Public Library. The original purpose of the compilation
was to make the finished work available only to users of
the above mentioned newspapers, in an effort to minimize
usage of this valuable source material. With their
publication in the Register it is hoped the records will
prove of worth to a larger audience.
The obituary notices have been edited to include: (a) the
name of the person deceased, (b) place of residence, (c)
wife or husband, parentage or other survivor or survivors
and (d) date of death. In many instances obituaries too
lengthy for inclusion were published by the newspapers.
Such notices have been edited for their genealogical value
and the word Obituary appended, this to enable the
researcher to secure the complete necrology if desirable.
For purpose of bibliography an abbreviation of the name of
the newspaper from which any notice is taken is given with
that notice. The notation following any obituary refers in
every instance to the year named in the obituary. As
below, in the first entry, KG 10/6 designates the
(Lexington) Kentucky Gazette, October 6, 1787. The
abbreviations used in this first installment denote: KG
(Lexington) Kentucky Gazette and R. The (Lexington, Ky.) Reporter.
The
abbreviations used denote:
O--Lexington
(Kentucky) Observer
OR--Lexington
(Kentucky) Observer & Reporter
R--The

Psalm
55:22 ---
You really need to read this.
"Friends are God's way of taking care of
us."
This was written by a Hospice of Metro Denver
physician.
I just had one of the most amazing experiences of
my life, and wanted to share it with my
family and dearest friends:
I was driving home from a meeting this
evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado
Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter
and die - I barely managed to coast, cursing,
into a gas station, glad only that I would
not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat
warm spot to
wait for the tow truck. It wouldn't even
turn over. Before I could make the call, I
saw a woman walking out of the "quickie
mart" building, and it looked like she
slipped on some ice and fell into a Gas pump, so I got
out to see if she was okay.
When I got there, it looked more like she had been
overcome by sobs than that she had fallen;
she was a young woman who looked really haggard with
dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something
as I helped her
up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a
nickel.
At
that moment, everything came into focus for me:
the crying woman, the ancient Suburban
crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1
in a car seat), and the gas pump reading
$4.95.
I asked her if she was okay and if she needed
help, and she just kept saying "I don't
want my kids to see me crying," so we stood
on the other side of the pump from her car.
She said she was driving to California and
that things were very hard for her right now. So I
asked, "And you were praying?" That
made her back away from me a little, but I assured her
I was not a crazy person and said, "He heard
you, and He sent me."
I took out my card and swiped it through the
card reader on the pump so she could fill up
her car completely, and while it was fueling,
walked to the next door McDonald's and bought
2 big bags of food, some gift certificates
for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the
food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like
wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries
and talking a little.
She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas
City. Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had
not been able to make ends meet. She knew she
wouldn't have money to pay rent Jan 1, and finally
in desperation had
finally called her parents, with whom she had not
spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California
and said she could come live with them and try to
get on her feet there.
So she packed up everything she owned in the car
She told the kids they were going to California
for Christmas, but not that they were going to
live there.
I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a
quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I
was walking over to my car, she said, "So,
are you like an angel or something?" This
definitely made me cry. I said, "Sweetie, at
this time of year angels are really busy, so
sometimes God uses regular people."
It was so incredible to be a part of someone
else's miracle. And of course, you guessed it,
when I got in my car it started right away and got
me home with no problem. I'll put it in the shop
tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic
won't find anything wrong.
Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you
that you can hear the flutter of their wings...
Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved." My
instructions were to pick four people that I
wanted God to bless, especially for the months in
2006 , and I picked you.
Please
pass this to four people you want to be blessed
and a copy back to me.This prayer is powerful and
prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There
is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to
pray for one another.
Here is the prayer:
"Father, I ask You to bless my children,
grandchildren, friends, relatives and e-mail
buddies reading this right now. Show them a new
revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I
ask You to minister to their spirit at this very
moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace
and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a
renewed confidence through Your grace, In Jesus'
precious name. Amen."
I know I picked more than four and you can, too.
When Satan is knocking at your door, simply
say, "Jesus, could You
please get that for me?"
Being blessed is GOOD...being HIGHLY FAVORED is
best!
