Boy Died of Lockjaw

Columbus, Ga., Jan. 1 – Thomas Marion, 9 years old, is dead, as the result of 
an accident on Christmas day.  With a number of playmates, the little fellow 
was firing a toy cannon.  The cannon was prematurely discharged, and Master 
Perry was struck on the cheek by the paper wad.  The wad was embedded in his 
cheek and made a painful wound, but one that was not necessarily regarded as 
serious.  Blood poison set in however, and the boy died of lockjaw.



Additional Comments:
Transcriber's note: I am uncertain of the exact date of death.  Since this was 
reported on January 1st, the death may have happened before the newspaper was 
printed or possibly the day before which would have been Dec. 31, 1900.  The  
date listed is an estimate.  If anyone has the correct date of death please 
contact me and I will have it corrected.  I'm not a researcher of this family 
and have no further information for them.
