Yesterday morning a child, one year old, of John Brannan, who lives in the Loop, about five miles from Hollidaysburg, choked to death. It picked up a splinter and stuck it in its mouth. Presently it attempted to swallow the piece of wood, but its effort cost it its life. Morning Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Monday, September 13, 1880
