February 12, 1903 ---- January 27, 1930

A Clarion girl, Vivian Witherell, died at her home the week before last the result of drinking grape juice that she had standing in a metal container for several days. She drank about two cups of the juice and remarked that it was very bitter. A little later she had severe pains, and a doctor was sent for. After examination he stated that the juice had become poisonous from standing in the metal container. The girl was treated, and seemed to improve, but later became worse, and died within a few hours.
