Very Sad Death of a Young Lady
The death of Miss Annie Good*
3f York countj, which occurred
af lockjaw, laet Friday night, at
bho home of her cousin, Mrs J. A.
Hilton, at Kershaw, whom she
(van visiting, was indeed very sad.
Ibe was about IS years of age,
amiable, attractive and very popular
with her friends. She had accepted
a position at Reek Hill and
tiad gone to Kershaw to spend a
week or ho with her relative before
reporting-for dutv at Rock Hill
which shs was to do next Monday.
Compulsory vaccination being in
force in that city and not wishing
to lose any time from her duties,
she insisted on Dr. Brasington
vaccinating her at Kershaw that
her arm might get well before she
went to Rock Hill. The following
day alter she was vaccinated
uer jaws seemed strongly affected
and she at ouce became alarmed,
saying that a voung man of her
acpuaintance who had been simi
larly affected after vaccination,
had died in a few days of lockjaw.
At the first symptoms the
physician was samuoned, and
although everything was done
that could be, at the oad of tho
third day the young lady's sweat
spirit left its mortal tenement and
winged its way on high. Her
remains were taken to her home
near Sharon, in York county, on
Saturday, for interment. Mr.
Hilton accompanied the temains.
