THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 54
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, November 27, 1907
-----
Son Drowned--Father Insane.
(Lott Clarion.)

       The three-year-old child of Mr. Greenwood who lives at the old Currie farm near Durango, was drowned in a tank Tuesday afternoon, and the father has lost his mind on account of the death.
       Last year Mr. Greenwood lost his oldest son, who died with typhoid fever, the year before that, one of his children burned to death.
       The parents were very much devoted to the little fellow which was drowned and always kept very close guard over him.  He was missed from the house and had only been gone a few minutes when they began hunting him and found him in the tank drowned.
