From Elmo Helka interiew:
Fred's brother Henry died with rabies. The neighbour's cattle got bit by dogs. When disposing of them he had a sore on his face. Him and Gord Hoover went to New York City for treatments. Henry was bull headed - didn't take the treatments and Gord Hoover did - terrible death - the doctor wouldn't let anybody in the room when he was in the last stages - in his late 20s had just gotten married about a year before this happened.
