On Sunday while a number of his children and grand-children were at the house of mourning the sorrow of the occasion was made doubly sad by the drowning of one of the deceased’s grand children. It seems that the little fellow was playing about the springs near by when by some means he lost his balance, fell into the spring, and was drowned before assistance could be had. – [West Alabamian] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/lamar/obits/h/harper1850gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 1.1 Kb
