Old Mrs. Linehan, a resident of the city for many years, died at her home last Saturday morning about 4 o'clock. About two weeks before while cutting kindling, she ran a splinter through her finger and called Dr. Tustison to remove it. It appeared to heal but it was only a surface healing, and after ten days resulted in tetanus which caused her death in about 48 hours Mrs. Linehan had passed her three score and ten, yet was apparently in ordinary good health when the accident occurred. Her funeral occurred Monday forenoon. Her daughter Anna arrived from Trinidad about two hours after her mother's death.
