Gilbertsville, Feb. 19---Investigation on the part
of Corporal A. E. Young and Trooper James Heath Tuesday afternoon
into the report that dogs had killed geese in the neighborhood near
Gilbertsville resulted in the discovery of the death of a
seven-month-old girl from the lack of medical attention and two other
children of the family lying ill with pneumonia.
The dead child was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis
Tiffany who lives on the Gilbertsville-Rootsville road about two
miles east of this village. The parents told the state police
corporal and the trooper that they were unable to secure medical
assistance on the account of financial difficulties and also the
services of an undertaker for the same reason.
The corporal and the state trooper notified
Superintendent Wlliam Dietz and after a conference arrangements were
made for medical attention for the other two children, William, 5
years old and Gladys, 3 years old. The family was also given money
to buy groceries and arrangements were made for burial of the dead
child. The child who died was buried here Wednesday. The other two
children were reported as being on the road to recovery today.
