Linnie Haguewood, the blind, deaf and dumb girl, in whose
interest a meeting was held in the Webster City Universalist
Church a number of years ago, is now at Pasadena, California. She
has completed her education and is now able to make her own
living. The entire State of Iowa has been interested in this
unfortunate girl, and the legislature made several appropriations
to aid her education. Born without eye sight and devoid of
hearing, her future was indeed gloomy. While Linnie was in Iowa
she was cared for at the college of the blind, but her school
education was completed at the institution at Gary, South Dakota.
Miss Dora Donald, her teacher, was constantly with her, both in
this State and in South Dakota. Miss Haguewood is now engaged in
stereotyping books for the use of the blind.
