GEDCOM Note

Bio notes: From "Muskingum County, Ohio Genealogy and History"

Adams (child) Zanesville, O., Feb 19- The 2 year-old child of Miles Adams, a resident of the Seventh ward, was buried yesterday. His death was caused by the drinking of concentrated lye. Mrs. Adams was using the lye in cleaning grease from the floor, when the little one got hold of it unobserved and drank it. The funeral was to have taken place from the house, but the waters became so high as to compel the family to move to a home of a neighbor, who lives on higher ground. [Lima Daily Times, Feb 19, 1891]
