Published in the Carroll Free Press Wednesday, January 20, 1886 MARY ELVA MANFULL Born: 18 May 1882 Died: 18 Jan 1886 STRANGE DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD Kensington, O., Jan 18 – Elva, a little
three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Manfull, near Augusta
, died this morning from the effects of a fall received yesterday.
She had climbed up and was standing on a high chair trying to get
something out of a cupboard, when she fell backward, the back of her
head striking the edge of a box, thereby rupturing a blood vessel in
the head. Medical aid was promptly called, but failed to stop the
flow of blood and death followed. There seems to be a fatality
hanging over this family as less than two years ago they lost a
little boy whose death was caused by injuries received from a fall
over the back of a chair. The parents are nearly heart-broken and
have the sympathy of the entire community. |
