Mrs. L. NJ. Davis died at her home
IN this city Monday morning, July Is,
l9i0. after an illness of less than a
week. On Tuesday of last week she
received a few slight bruises on one
OF her limbs, from which blood pois-
onlng developed, causing her death.
She. was in the best of health up to
the time of the accident, in fact she
had not been so we'll and active for
several years. She was out of doors
a great deal and met with the unfor-
tunate accident as she was unhitch-
Ing her horse. The animal started Ut
suddenly and in some manner threw
her under one OF the buggy wheels
which passed over her limb. Aside
from the shaking up 1T gave her, Mrs.
Davis did not appear to have suffer-
ed any serious effects from the acci-
dent and paid but slight attention to
the bruises received. The first day
She said nothing of them to the
members of her family and worked
about her flowers and garden the
same as usual. On Wednesday even
Ing her limb panied her some and she
gavs Il such attention as she con-
sitl'ir, ,.cessary, still offering no
coil,p',i.. 20 those about her. The
pain >,.J appearance Of the bruised
Iaru aa her limb grew steadily
wnr, ~ ON Friday last physician
was -ni;. nloned. who discovered that
she had received an infection from
her bruises and blood poisoning had
set In. Everything that medical skill
3 and careful nursing affords was
done but OF no avail. The shock of
her death Is a very severe one to
her family and friends, coming. as it
did In such a sudden manner and
from such an unexpected source. {
