Grantham - Carolyn

Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal newspaper, Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana Sat Nov 18, 1911


While her mother went to the basement Thursday afternoon to are for the furnace little Miss Carolyn Grantham, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Grantham drank a quantity of gasoline which she found in a bottle that her mother had been using to clean her gloves. Mrs. Grantham heard her daughter making an unusual noise and hurried to find out what was the trouble. She found Carolyn with her eyes opened wide and her face a purple hue. Home remedies were employed by the mother and the stuff made the victim so sick she vomited and was thus relieved of most of it. The child drank some milk and was soon all right except for the nauseating effect of the liquid. -- typed by kbz
