path five or six miles broad was cut
through Norfolk and NansemOnd cOun-

The truckers all around the Hodge 5

going wrong and that child would be
ushered into the world, to hide the shame
which was to befall them he departed TO
Wheeling. where he had Dr. J. A. Cox
perform an operation upon the girl,
which was unsuccessful and she was
taken to Proctor, W. Va, and placed in
Walter MOOre's hotel, where DR.. Cox,
with his brother. performed the work by
relieving her of a still-born child. It
was afterwards taken by the childs
father, who is also Lizzie's father, and
the two physicians, and carried to the
banks of the Ohio river and buried
