TWO DEATHS AT POOR FARM
Two inmates died at the poor farm last Sunday night within an hour. Mary TAINER, who was sent there from this city about six weeks ago, afflicted with a private disease, for which, it appears, she had not received proper medical treatment at an early stage. The deceased was 19 years old and unmarried.
In less than an hour after Miss Tainer had expired, Isaac LAPIN died of old age, coupled with diseases with which he had been afflicted for some years. He was 72 years old and had been an inmate of the poor farm for a great many years, he having lived in the northeast part of the county for a great many years prior to his being taken to the poor farm. Mr. Foster tried to inform some relatives and friends of Mr. Lapin's death, but was unable on account of the telephones being out of repair. The interment of both bodies took place Monday afternoon.
