Wife of William John (Jack) Griffiths. Mother of Howard and Vincent Edward Griffiths (8mos). Electrocuted to death by a wire that had come unloose on the back porch of their home and wrapped around her body. Their clothes line had been attached to the end of the electric wire and became worn through with time. As she attempted to move the wire with a broom it came off the hook and wrapped around her body killing her in short fashion. The attached Picture was probably taken within weeks prior to her death. Baby in stroller;my father, Vincent, Toddler;my uncle, Howard, and their father, my Grandfather, William "Jack" John Griffiths. She was carrying a third child at the time of her death.
