Small Girl is Drowned In Tank On Butler Farm

Virginia Ann Richardson, a 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. 
Richardson, who reside on a farm eight miles southeast of Augusta, was drowned 
yesterday afternoon when she fell into a stock tank at her father's farm.

The father found the body of the little girl floating on the surface of the 
water when he went to the barn to do the evening chores. A physician was called 
immediately but before he arrived resuscitation efforts of neighbors failed to 
reveal any signs of life. According to the physician the body apparently had 
been in the water approximately an hour.

The body was taken to Augusta where funeral arrangements will be announced 
through the Dunsforth Funeral Home.
