About two weeks ago, Maude Ward, the five-year old granddaughter of Ben­jamin Draper, of Clark township, fell off of a teetering board and striking on the stub of a weed that had been cut off, injured her thigh. The wound caused blood poisoning from which the little sufferer died on Sunday morning. The funeral took place at Glade church Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
