LITTLE GIRL DIES AFTER EATING HER THANKSGIVING MEAL
---
Leah Barbary, 8 Years Old, Succumbs to Heart Trouble at Silver Beach.
---
Leah Barbary, eight year old daughter of Patrick Barbary of Barnum terrace, Stratford, died suddenly of an affection of the heart yesterday shortly after eating Thanksgiving dinner.
With her father, she was the holiday guest of her uncle, Freeman Parquet, and family, of 6 James street, Silver Beach. She is said not to have eaten very heartily, and at the end of dinner went out to play with several little girls in the neighborhood.
The party of girls went to the beach and were playing about on the sand, when the Barbary girl suddenly pitched forward on her face. Her playmates, believing she did it in fun, and was part of the game, romped about her with delighted shouts. But she did not respond, and her stillness soon frightened them. They ran to a man who was waiting to board a street car, and he picked her up and carried her into her uncle's house.
Two physicians were summoned, but she was dead before either arrived. Medical examiner W.J.H. Fisher, of Milford, said last night death was probably caused by heart trouble.
