Zion this afternoon, when little Joseph [McCLUNG], the year old boy of Mr. & Mrs. John [L.] [and Gertrude M. COOK] McCLUNG, passed away as the result of poison accidentally taken. The McClung residence had been infested with some mice and in order to rid the house of them, some poison had been procured and spread on a piece of bread and placed on a shelf in the pantry. Mrs. McClung did this just before starting away to spend the afternoon. The baby had just learned to creep the day before, and while the mother was getting ready to start the little fellow crept into the room, where the poison had been placed on a high shelf, and when she went to get him he had the piece of bread with the poison on it, and had eaten the poisoned butter nearly all off. Mice or rats had evidently dragged the piece of bread off the shelf and it fell to the floor, where baby found it. Thinking the little fellow had not eaten enough to seriously affect him, the parents administered some domestic remedies quickly and thought to drive hurriedly to Dr. [Arthur E. (Dick)] STINSON's at Athens, where they were going for the afternoon, they saw their baby rapidly getting sick and telephoned for Dr. [M. O.] KING to come quickly in his auto. The doctor reached there in fifteen minutes after the call to him but convulsions had set in and he could not use his stomach pump and had to resort to other remedies. The baby seemed to improve this morning and was thought to be out of danger, but at noon he suddenly became worse and died two hours later in terrible agony. The unfortunate baby was eleven and a half months old and a bright and lovable little fellow. He was an only child and the parents will have the profound sympathy of a very large circle of friends in their awful sorrow. [Sept 17, 1904 - Sep 2, 1905; bur Mt. Zion cem, Fulton co, Ind]
