DROWNED IN A BARREL OF WATER
A Shocking Tragedy Reported from Schley County.

Ellaville, Ga., June 24--(Special)--Our town was shocked this afternoon to 
hear that Mrs. H.J. Williams was drowned.  A voy came running down in town 
saying that Mrs. Williams was in a barrel of water at home.  Her husband and 
several others ran up to the house and found her in a barrel of water.

Dr. Cherry was immediately called, and the most persistent efforts made to 
resuscitate her, but in vain.  It is supposed that while watering the flowers 
she had a spell of vertigo and fell in.  No one was at home at the time except 
her little daughter, about ten years old, who was asleep.

Mrs. Williams was loved by all who knew her, and her death has brought sorrow 
to many hearthstones.  Her husband, child and relatives have the sincere 
sympathy of this entire community.
