WOMAN'S HORRIBLE DEATH
~
Clinton, Ia. Feb. 1 – Mrs. John Frank, an aged demented woman who resided near Fulton, Jackson County, met a terrible death, according to reports that reached here yesterday from that place. During the night she climbed out of her room and onto a shed roof, jumped to the ground and wandered around in the snow for several hours. When she was missed in the morning she was tracked by footprints in the snow and her body, frozen stiff, was found about a mile from the house. She was 86 years of age.
