Undated article from unknown source. Extracted from the newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie Brown of Madison, Missouri. Former Times Editor Lay 4 Days After Breaking Hip "Mrs. Mary G. Eubank, 83, Madison, former Madison Times editor and widow of the late Clyde Eubank, lay five days on the floor of her home after she tripped over a chair, fell and broke a hip around 9 a.m. Friday, October 16. She was discovered Wednesday of last week by her daughter, Mrs. L.H. Markland, St. Louis, who came to Madison to get her mother and take her to the Markland summer home at Armstrong. Entering the house she found her mother on the floor and quoted her as saying "I'm so glad you're here. Get me a drink of water, call an ambulance and get me out of here." Aside from being dehydrated, physicians said she appeared to otherwise be alright. She underwent surgery on the hip, at the hospital last Thursday and was reported Wednesday of this week as in a satisfactory condition. She was also reported as never having lost consciousness during her five day and night ordeal. Neighbors who noticed an accumulation of mail and saw no lights or activity at the Eubank home thought she had gone for a visit with her son, Ben, of Hartford, Conn., who had left about an hour before she fell."
