TOADSTOOLS PROVE FATAL
TO TWO MILFORD CITIZENS
MIR. AND MRS. GRECO THOUGHT
THEY WERE EATING MUSHROOM
Their 14-Year-Old Daughter Also
Ill, But it is Thought She Will
Recover

Frank Greco and his wife, Mrs. En-
lily Greco are dead, and their daugh-
ter Philomena, is. ill as the result of
eating toad stools which were cooked
in mistake for mushrooms. The Greco
family went to their farm in Milford
Neck on Sunday and picked what they
thought were mushrooms. They were
cooked and eaten on their return
home. Shortly afterwards all three
were taken sick. The daughter, a
child about thirteen years Of age, was
very sick at her stomach and vomited
much of what she had eaten. This
probably saved her life for she com
menced to get better Immediately.
On Wednesday afternoon DR.. Will
liam Pierce was called in to give med
ical attention, but the effects of the
poison had advanced to such a stage
that Mrs. Greco could not be saved
She died Wednesday evening, and was
about 55 years of age. Mr.. Greco
died about ten o'clock on Thursday
morning. He was about 60 years of
age.
Frank Greco went to Milford about
twenty years ago and purchased sew
eral thousands of acres of land in Mil
ford Neck along the bayshOre. Here
he established an Italian colony, but
the movement gradually petered out
and the foreigners left. Since that
time the land has been sublet to ten
ants. Since the failing health of Mr..
Greco several years ago Mrs. Greco
has been managing the business af-
fairs of the family. She has also
been very active in Christian Science
work in Milford. Her father, who is
in the importing business in New
York City, and several brothers and
sisters survive her. Frank Greco was
engaged in the railroad construction
business before coming to Milford. In
this business he accumulated a con-
siderable fortune.
