KILLED BY HYDROPHOBIA After Using Mudstone

Buchanan, Georgia, Aug. 14th

Mr. Leonard Fullbright of this place died here of hydrophobia. He was bitten 
on the street near his home on the evening of the 2nd of June by what was 
supposed to be a rabid dog. He immediately went to Fairburn and was treated 
by Dr. Tidwell by having his mad stone applied to one of the wounds made by 
the dog, having been bitten on each hand and the right leg. He remained at 
Fairburn about a week receiving treatment and was thought to be effectually 
cured. He is said to have felt no symptoms of the dreadful malady until last 
Wednesday evening when an uneasy and strange feeling came over him. On 
Thursday morning he was thrown into convulsions and continued to have one 
after another until death relieved his sufferings at about seven o'clock 
this morning.

Mr. Fullbright was a blacksmith and was upwards of seventy-five years of 
age. He was respected by all who knew him, having lived at Harttown in 
Carroll county for a number of years before he moved to this place, some ten 
years ago. He leaves a wife and several married children and one single 
daughter.
