Little Girl Dies As A Result of Insect Bite

The 12 year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dunlap, of the Bottoms community, was buried yesterday, in the Lancaster cemetery, deceased being a granddaughter of Mr. Felix Lancaster.

The cause of death was blood poisoning, arising from a little red spot, which appeared on the girl’s lower lip. The place inflamed until the whole face was involved in the swelling, and nothing the attending physicians could do was of avail, the poison finally permeating the system and producing death.

While there was no knowledge of what caused the first tiny wound, it was thought that it was probably a spider bite.
