Shenandoah Herald. (Woodstock, Va.) July 29, 1869
We regret to learn that a young child of Mr. David Maphis, living near Mt. Olive, in
this county, was found in a spring near the house. It appears that Mrs. Maphis had
left the house for a short while, and had left the child in the care of a servant,
who had not noticed the absence of the child for some minutes, when search being
made, was found in the spring. Every effort was made to resuscitate the child, but
to no purpose. It was a severe blow to the parents, especially as it was the only
male heir.
