Four Months After Injury Woman Dies Of Blood Poisoning
A trivial cut in her thumb sustained while she was cutting a slice of Ham eight weeks ago resulted on Friday morning in the death of Catherine, wife of George Adams of Prosser Hollow in Cambria County . The wound at the time it was inflicted attracted only passing notice and Mrs Adams experienced neither inconvenience nor pain from it for a month, when it began to trouble her, and finally she was compelled to seek the service of a physician. Mrs Adams was able to be around until Wednesday evening when she became suddenly very ill and was put to bed. Dr. E. J. Burkhart was summoned early Thursday morning. In the afternoon a consultation of three or four physicians was held when it was learned that the puss following the wound had affected the heart and nervous system. Mrs Adams rapidly declined passing away at 4:55 Friday morning. The deceased was the mother of Walter Adams of Bolivar.
