Mrs. Harry Pavy, 1107 Benham
Avenue, Succumbs to Plague
At 12:40 O'clock P.M.
------------
          Mrs. Amelia A. Pavy,  wife of  Harry W. Pavy,  an employe of the New York Central's locomotive department, died at 12:40 o'clock this afternoon at their home, 1107 Benham avenue, from Spanish influenza complicated by pneumonia.  Mrs. Pavy's death makes the eighth in this city from the epidemic.
          The deceased was taken ill ten days ago following her return with her husband from a trip to Buffalo.  While they intended to make an extended visit in the east they gave it up because of the prevalence of influenza.  They returned home a week ago Sunday and Mrs. Pavy was stricken the following day.  In spite of physicians' ministrations her condition steadily grew worse.
          Mrs. Pavy was born in Shelbyville, Ind., August 23, 1886.  She was married to Mr. Pavy October 30, 1907, and he and two children,  Maxine,  age eight years; and  Mary Louise,  age five years, survive.  There also survive the mother,  Mrs. Elizabeth Worland,  of Shelbyville, and the following brothers and sisters:  Mrs. Leo Williams  of Indianapolis;  Mrs. John Dontley  of Coshockton, Ohio;  Miss Louise Worland  of this city;  Daniel Voss  of Lima, Ohio;  Joseph Voss  of Mitchell, Ind., and  Robert Voss,  in service in France.
Twelve Cases Reported.
          Health Secretary Dr. I. W. Short, in reporting seventy-two new cases of Spanish influenza recorded yesterday, declared today that while there was no improvement in the local situation it was no worse.  Today's cases had not been listed up to a late hour this afternoon.
