Boy Dies From Injuries by Cow
Raymond Woods, 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods of Gruver, died Tuesday [July 29, 1930] afternoon after undergoing an operation at a local hospital. Several months ago Raymond was kicked in the leg by a cow and infection set in. He was in a local hospital for several weeks but was then taken to his home. On the first of this week he returned to the hospital and underwent an operation. He survived the operation but lived only a short time.

Funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Woods home at 2 o’clock and burial will be in the Oakhill [per cemetery records, East Side]. The Rev. Page will officiate at the services. Besides his parents he is survived by one sister, Elma and two brothers, Albert and Robert. (Estherville News, Estherville, IA, July 31, 1930)
