TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY DIES IN CONVULSIONS FROM ATTACK OF LOCKJAW

Frederick Farnsworth Removed to City Hospital After Tetanus Had Fully Developed

HAD STEPPED ON RUSTY NAIL

Frederick Farnsworth, aged 10 years, son of Isaac Farnsworth, living in a boathouse at the foot of Monroe street, was received a the City hospital at noon yesterday suffering from an acute attack of lockjaw, which caused death at 8:30 last night after several hours of terrible suffering.

The lad stepped on a rusty nail about a week ago which pierced the ball of his right foot, causing a painful wound. Local remedies were applied to the injury by the family, but the boy grew worse, symptoms of tetanus developing three days after the accident.

It appears that not until after the jaws of the boy had become firmly set and he was unable to partake of any nourishment did the family realize the seriousness of his condition and summon a physician.

Dr. J. Howard Davis visited the boy Friday evening and found him suffering greatly. Upon the physician's instructions he was removed to the city hospital.

Dr. Hobbs was called into consultation in the case, but their efforts availed for nothing. After writhing in convulsions for several hours, death came as a merciful relief to his sufferings.

Had the lad received the proper medical attention when the accident occurred it is probable that his life might have been saved.

The body was taken in charge by Undertake Miller, who will have charge of the funeral.

She was greatly devoted to her husband and family, and it is among her own kin that her departure will be most deeply felt.

Mrs. Herbert was taken ill three weeks ago last Sunday with a slight attack of grip which developed pneumonia. Physicians were in attendance constantly and did everything within their power to save her life. Sunday she has several sinking spells which exhausted the lingering spark of vitality, and it was announced then by the physicians that death might occur at any moment.

Mrs. Herbert was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and was held in high esteem by its members. Mr. Herbert, the bereaved husband, is a well known Mason, and holds a responsible position at plant No. 3, of the Homer Laughlin China company.

Besides the husband, the following children survive; Porter, Lena, Harry, Edward, Mrs. Della McGee and Florence of this city, and Charles, of East Palestine. One brother Samuel Marker, of New Brownsville, Pa., and one sister, Mrs. Dora Mahi, of Shippensville, Pa., also survive.

YOUNG WOMAN IS KILLED BY FALL FROM A PORTICO

Mrs. Henrietta Bevington Met a Tragic Death

Eagerness to Learn of Fire Caused Accident

She Leaned Out Over Banister, Lost Balance and Plunged to the Pavement Below

Mrs. Henrietta Bevington, aged 23, wife of Geo. Bevington, property man of the Ceramic theater, fell 14 feet from a porch at her home, 152 Second street, about 5:30 o'clock Saturday evening (Mar. 24, 1906), alighting on her head and sustaining injuries that cause death two hours later. She never regained consciousness after the fall.

Quite a number of persons witnessed the young woman's tragic death. John Grafton and Pete Zoellers picked the unconscious woman up and carried her to the Taylor hospital where she was attended by Dr. Taylor, the h0spital surgeon, and D. J. Howard Davis.

The physicians administered heart stimulants and attempted to stop the cerebral hemorrhages, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The patient died without a sound escaping her lips. At her bedside in the private room when the end came were the bereaved husband and other close relatives.

Her heavy head of hair probably prevented the skull being fractured. Although every effort was made by the physicians to prolong life, they realized that death could not be averted. The young husband is heartbroken overt the tragic affair. They had been married only two years and had lived very happily together.

Mrs. Bevington was the only daughter of Mrs. Gilmore, who lives a short distance from the home of her daughter. The mother was called to Dubois, Pa., three weeks ago to nurse a child of her sister which fell from a three story building. She was telegraphed for Saturday night and arrived here on the midnight train.

Mr. Bevington occupied with his wife rooms on the second floor of the Wilkinson property, which is situated between the east Liverpool drug company's store and the Tal McCain saloon. A small porch with a three foot banister is on the front of the building and it was over this banister that the woman fell.

The accident happened just at the time the fire bell sounded. Mrs. Bevington heard the alarm and stepped out on the porch to learn where the fire was. She saw two boys hurrying by and leaned over the banister to hail them. This act cost her her life for she lost her balance and fell to the pavement below.

It was not until a half hour later when Mr. Bevington came home for his supper, that he learned of the frightful accident to his wife. Friends had made an effort to locate him but he could not be found. Bevington hurried to the hospital and remained at his wife's bedside until she died.

The body was removed from the hospital to the home of Mr. Bevington's sister, Mrs. Thomas Taylor, 149 Ridgeway avenue. The funeral arrangements had not been completed last night.

Mrs. Bevington was very well known and her sudden death was greatly deplored by her many friends. The bereaved husband is a son of mailcarrier Bevington, and he has the sympathy of the entire community in his deep sorry.
