NELSON, Pearl - Putnam

Source: Greencastle Star Press, Putnam County 12 May 1894 p 1

The death of Pearl, daughter of Jackson Nelson of Madison Township on Friday was as strange as it was unexpected. As soon as her sickness was discovered Dr. James H. Neff was summoned to give her attention but when he arrived she was past all hope of recovery. The little girl was visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Thos. Raggle when she was taken sick. The supposition by many is that she was accidentally poisoned by eating or drinking something she had found about the place.
