four persons in Delaware twp, on
their way to visit a neighbor were
required to cross foot log across

became dizzy at the sight of the
swift running stream and declared
that she could not walk without
help over tue foot log. Mrs. John
Lauver went back to help her; hand
in hand they started to walk the
log. When about half way over
Miss Lauver became dizzy fell off
the log and pulled Mrs. Lauver with

married only about week previous.
