Greenwood, The 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Greenwood died in an accident near Thurman last Saturday evening.  The mother had taken the little fellow with her while she was doing some chores at the barn.  Leaving the child alone just outside the barn, she proceeded to do the chores in the barn.  During her absence the child crawled upon a watering trough and fell in, and although the mother was absent less than 10 minutes when she came out of the barn she found the lifeless body of the child in the trough.  Mrs. Greenwood’s screams soon brought a neighbor Mrs. Myers, and everything possible was done to bring the little fellow to life again.  A doctor was sent for, but the child had been dead about an hour when he arrived. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home.  (Sep 29, 1905 Tabor Beacon)
