DIES FROM TETANUS

Cyrilla Fitzpatrick, seven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Fitzpatrick, residing near Strawberry Point, died on Thursday of last week after suffering for sometime with tetanus. The little girl was injured about the head while at play recently, but at the time was not considered seriously injured, but lockjaw developed and despite the efforts of physicians to save her, death ensued.

The child was a charming and winsome lassie, loved by all who knew her and the idol of her devoted parents, who are unconsolable at her most untimely demise. Funeral services were held on Saturday at the Catholic church in Strawberry Point, Rev. Father Hartigan, the pastor, officiating.

Manchester Democrat-Radio, Manchester, Iowa, October 29, 1913.

* Note: Apparently Novella's name was misunderstood by the newspaper and published as "Cyrilla".

* Novella's mother was Matilda "Tillie" Thomas, daughter of Sophia Wentz and David Thomas.
