Indianapolis (IN) News, April 17, 1897, p. 10. GANGRENE OF THE FACE Scottsburg, Ind., April 17-- A son, seven years old, of Thomas Miller of Johnson Township, this county, is dead of gangrene of the face. It was a most remarkable case from a pathological standpoint and one rarely met with in the practice of medicine. Large portions of his cheek turned black, and his face literally died before death relieved him of his intense suffering.
