Monticello, IN. Aug. 10,1897.
A distressful accident occurred here yesterday afternoon, resulting in the death of Marie Sills, the 4 yr. old daughter of A.K. Sills, chairman of the Republican county committee. The little girl had climbed on the rear wheel of a wagon heavily loaded with wood, and the driver started up without noticing her. She was thrown to the ground and the wheel passed over her breast and face, rupturing the lungs and breaking her jawbone. She lingered in great agony for 6 hrs.
