From the Effects of a Shot.

A Young Lady Dies From Being Accidentally Shot.

Miss Anna Taylor, the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor, of Union twp., died Wednesday night, January 26th, and was buried at Churchville last Saturday. Just seventy-seven days prior to her death she was shot with a revolver in the hand of Harry Ladd at her own home. Ladd was fooling with a revolver when it was accidentally discharged, the ball from which passed through Miss Taylor’s lung and lodged near the shoulder blade. The ball could not be extracted and the girl suffered terribly from the day of the accident until death came to her relief.
