rangements for the burial Of Laura

near her home northwest OF Edin-
burg as a result OF a snake bite.
we're being held up pending arrival
here Of relatives who are coming TO
attend the funeral.
It was indicated the service
would be held in a local church
sometime Wednesday and burial
will be in the local cemetery. The
body is being held at SINNERS
mortuary here.
The girl is believed to have wan
dered several hours after being Bit
ten trying to reach home. where as
sistance would have been available
She apparently wandered IN circles
for some time and probably fell into
the brush heap where she was found
when death was near.
She was discovered within 200
yards Of the home by Charles Bun
sey. nearest neighbor to the Davis
home, which is Is miles northwest Of
here.
Miss Davis. her relatives said. was
in the habit Of taking long walks
and started on her regular hike
Sunday afternoon. When she failed
to return in time for the evening
meal a search was started. Her
tracks were followed to a road
which passes some distance from
the home. 1t vas known that friends
had passed that way in an auto
mobile and her relatives thought
she had entered the car for a ride
with friends.
When she still was away from
home at bed time. it was thought
the girl had decided TO spend the
night with friends. The search was
started for her early the next MORN
ing and when members OF the fam
lily were unable to find any trace OF
her a general alarm was sounded
and neighbors we're called into the
search.
The large snake had struck the
girl about six inches above the ankle
and she apparently fell to the
ground, probably fainting. alter she
walked to a barbed wire fence, par
ticles Of her clothing hanging from
the barbS telling a mute tale Of her
struggles. Her trail led in a series
of circles and approached nearer to
the house.
DR.. J. r. Malone, county health
officer. who assisted with the exam
ination, expressed the belief that
the girl was bitten about Z p. m. and
that she did not die until 2 or 3
o'clock the next morning.
