Little Morgan, Death From Snake Bite
A little boy, aged three years, son of Mr. Martin Morgan, who resides on the Brush
Mountain, some three miles from Hollidaysburg, came to his death from the bite of a
copperhead, which occurred on Friday last. The little son was in the field at the
time of the sad occurrence took place. The snake bit the boy on one of its legs, the
poison at once spreading through the body of the little innocent, producing death
within twenty-four hours after it was done. At this season of the year parents
should be careful not to permit their children to go into the woods or fields, as
great risks are run. - Blair Co. Whig
