Obit Elva Carpenter. Wabasha Democrat, Wabasha Minn., Friday, July 1, 1898

Died of Tetanus

The nine year old daughter of George Carpenter died Saturday night with 
tetanus. The little one on the Sunday previous while playing out of doors 
stepped on a nail which penetrated her foot for a short distance. The 
accident seemed of minor importance and the little girl went to school 
the following day. A day or two afterwards she began to feel ill and she 
was brought here and examined by Dr. Waste. She continued to grow worse 
and the doctor was called to the house and remained there Friday night 
with the patient. She lived until Saturday and died with what is commonly 
called locked-jaw, after intense suffering.-Plainview News
