Ryker - Flossie
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Saturday, 29 July 1893
Thursday while Mrs. Charles Ryker, residing near Potato Creek, was washing and her little 3 year old daughter, Flossie accidentally fell into a tub of boiling water and was frightfully scalded about the head, limbs and body. So dangerously was the little one burned that pieces of the cuticle as large as one’s hand peeled off. Dr. Berryman, of Darlington, was called and at last accounts the little one was resting easy. Flossie was a beautiful little child and it is feared, should she recover, that she will be disfigured for life. It is hoped the little one may survive the accident all right.—Colfax Chronicle - – thanks to “S”
