The
community was again shocked by the announcement on the streets Sunday morning
that M. [adison] M. Remington
had died during the night. Many of
his close friends had not heard of his illness until his death was
reported. A few days before he had
stepped on a nail which passed through the sole of his shoe and penetrated his
foot. The wound, though painful,
gave him little concern and he kept about his work until Wednesday, when the
symptoms of tetanus, or locked-jaw appeared. From this time he grew worse rapidly, suffering intensely
until relieved by death Sunday morning.
