BROOKS, Treasurer Newberry Count*. . . . SESQUI CENTENNIAL PAGEANT . . . . EPISODE ELEVEN “The Spanish American War” “Greater Love Hath No Man Than This” In 1928 it was requested by Mr. Blease of Newberry that Congress insert in its records an article pub lished in the American Magazine of April, 1927, headed “Greater Love Hath No Man”, and written by Dr. Wilmer Krusen. In this a fellow citizen and friend, Levi E. Folk, of Newberry, South Carolina is mention ed with a very high honor to him self for he was one of the volunteers in Cuba at the close of the Spanish American War, who risked their lives that the truth of yellow fever might be learned and countless thousands saved from a terrible death Far more heroic this than going into bat tle. No bands playing, no flags fly ing, only a loathsome, terrible exper ience with every prospect of certain death. Several tests were made, but still one te#ible one remained. For a century yellow fever had been thought contagious—“so a little hbuse was built and called ‘House No. 1’. It was only 14x20 feet. The two doors were so arranged, one back of the^ other that no mosquitoes possib ly could get in. A stove was placed in the building to keep the tempera ture steadily above 90 and tub® of water were put inside, that the at mosphere would be a s soggy as that of a well. Then into this house were taken the cots and mattresses and bedding of men who had died of yel low fever. And into that foul trap, worse than any Dark-Age dungeon, walked, of their own free will, three men—Dr. R. P. Cook, Private Levi E, 1 Folk, and Private Warren G. Jema- gen. They ate there, lived there, slept there in those beds for 20 days and 20 nights”. (Taken from the Con gressional Record). Scene 1: Consultation of four medical men—Walter Reed, James Carrol, Jesse W. Lazear, and Aristides Agra- monte, over the grave situation of yellow fever in the American quar ters in Cuba. Three volunteers offer themselves for the terrible test. Dr. R. P. Cook, Private Levi E. Folk, and Private Warren G. Jemagen.
