Surnames: SELFRIDGE, ROLLINS Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ci.2ADE/4647 Message Board Post: I am not related, but only posting the following for interested family members. The following article appeared in the 17 Jul 2002 Nostalgia column of The Culver Citizen from Culver, Marshall Co., IN and is reprinted from the 1902 edition. Examination of the 1900 census and the marriage index shows this to have been Josephine (ROLLINS) SELFRIDGE, wife of Dr. William T SELFRIDGE, with son, Lavere R SELFRIDGE. "Mrs. Dr. SELFRIDGE of Jasonville, Ind., a guest at the Arlington, went out upon the lake [Lake Maxinkuckee] accompanied by her three year old son. The little lad stood up in the boat and fell headlong into the water. The frightened mother sprang overboard to the rescue of her little son and grabbing the rope trailing from the boat was rescued by other guests at the Arlington. The mother's nerves had been at such tension from fright that after being brought ashore she was prostrated for several hours."
