Elmer Woodruff Rescues Child From Water Hole in Quarry. Elmer WOODRUFF, an employe of the Smithsonian Institution, who lives at 2751 Macomb street northwest, saved his 3-year-old daughter Edith from drowning yesterday, when she fell into a hole containing 3 feet of water at the quarry near Connecticut avenue, between Newark and Ordway streets. The little girl was throwing stones, and walked backward into the hole. The father's cry of warning failed to prevent the accident. After being rescued, Edith declared she was not hurt "the least bit." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
