"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Monday, July 5, 1880 FELL DOWN A CELLAR. Quite a serious accident befell the young child of James LAIDLAW of the Kansas Pacific shops, Armstrong, on Saturday evening. She was playing with some other children in front of the family residence, and not noticing the cellar door being open plunged headlong down the opening into the basement, a distance of some eight feet. The way she fell caused many who saw the accident to think the child had met with instant death, and although brought out of the cellar in an insensible condition, it was found on examination that no bones were broken, but she was terribly bruised up. Her escape from almost instant death seems marvelous. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10
