[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger April 1, 1880 VINTON An adopted daughter of A. Richey, of Wilkesville, recently died as the result of injuries sustained from a fall. A Wilksville correspondent of the Hamden Enterprise says: Lincoln Shurtz, of whom we spoke some time ago as having received an injury at the hands of three drunken scoundrels, is now dead. This is the fourth death which has resulted from the use of whiskey in this township within the last six months. "A four-year-old child of Mr. McMannus, living at Hamden Furnace, was, says the Hamden Enterprise, very badly burned a few days ago from its clothes taking fire. Dr. Howe has charge of the case and reports favorable." The Dr. Howe here named is the veritable Doctor "Lou" formerly of Athens, whom we are pleased to learn is working into a large and lucrative practice at Hamden. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson
