Richland Child Dies From Moccasin’s Bite

Richland, Nov. 2 – The two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Kent, near
this city, was bitten by a moccasin snake late Friday afternoon and died from
the effects of the poison a few hours later.  On account of the phone line which
extends out into the neighborhood of Mr. Kent being out of order they were
unable to get Dr. when it was discovered that the child had been bitten, and
when one was finally secured the condition of the little one was such that
medical attention could not benefit her.

The child had been out in the yard playing, as was her usual custom, when the
snake bit her.  She ran into the house to her mother with the snake coiled about
her arms and its fangs sunk into the flesh and it was with trouble Mrs. Kent
beat off and killed the snake.
