Geneseo Republic, July 20, 1928
Mrs. Linnell, who resides at the corner of Center and West Exchange streets, met with a very serious accident last Wednesday about 7 a.m. She was calling on her daughter, Mrs. Thos. Cann, who resides in the fl over their market, and started to descend the back stairway when she tripped by catching her slipper on a tack and plunged head first down t steps, a distance of about twenty feet. She is a large, fleshy woman, and how she escaped death is a wonder. Her most serious exterior hu a cut half way across the forehead which laid the flesh open to the skull. She is terribly bruised up otherwise and suffers a great deal, but it is hoped that she escaped serious internal injuries. Dr. Spencer dressed the wound and her daughter, Mrs. Cann is giving her unremitting care. ------------------------
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEATH DATE OF 1926 AND THE ABOVE DATE. IS THE DATE ON THE STONE 1926?
