EVELYN VIRGINIA ARNOLD

Child Sleeping in Automobile Asphyxiated

  Evelyn Virginia, the 20-months' old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Arnold, of 
Sunnyside, near Oakland, Md., was found dead in the family automobile, the cause 
of her death being attributed to monoxide gas fumes.
  Mr. Arnold with Mrs. Arnold and their three children were enroute to Underwood 
from their home, traveling in an open car.  The children sat on the floor of the 
automobile in order to protect themselves from the cold.  When the youngest 
child, Evelyn, fell asleep, she was covered with a blanket to make her more 
comfortable.  At the Sunnyside Grange Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold stopped for a 
few minutes, the children remaining in the car with the motor still running.  
When the family arrived at the Sims home in Underwood, whom they had set out to 
visit, it was found that the sleeping child had succumbed to the fumes of the 
gas from the exhaust.
