The little baby son of Henry Leithold, of this city, met with a strange mishap recently, resulting in the little one's death. Mrs. Leithold had left the child for a moment to wait upon another one in an adjoining room. During her absence the child gained a window and in some manner loosened a catch that held the raised sash. This fell upon the child's neck. Upon Mrs. Leithold's return she was horrified to find her baby dead.

Killed by a Window Sash.
Waukon Standard:—A horrible acci­dent occurred In Ludlow last Friday, which caused the death of little Clar­ence Liethold, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Liethold. The child was stand­ing looking out an open window when it fell, striking him across the neck in such a manner that death shortly re­sulted. The little one was about twenty months old and the parents are grief- stricken at his death.

Transcriber’s Note: The last name is correctly spelled LIETHOLD. Find a Grave shows he is buried in Oakland Cemetery and was born March 10, 1900 and died Nov. 29, 1901
