Little Girl Hangs Herself In Swing

Sunday afternoon Annie Belle the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Parker 
met her death by a singular accident.  It occurred at the home of the child’s 
parents in Girard.

The child had gone out in the yard to play.  A swing made from an old piece of 
cotton rope had been made under the house for the benefit of the baby, the 
house being about three feet from the ground.  The child had been in the yard 
only a few moments when the mother thought she heard a struggle of some kind 
taking place under the house and at once thinking of her baby, she sent her 
little boy to investigate.  The little boy found the baby lying partly on the 
ground with the rope of the swing around its neck; the swing had caught the 
child and its feet could barely reach the ground.  The mother was at once 
called and she found her little babe dead.

The body of the child was carried to Geneva and the interment took place there 
Monday afternoon.

Mr. and Mrs. Parker were originally from this county and they have many friends 
here who sympathize with them in their sorrow.
