Infant found dead in new cemetery sparks infanticide fears
The nude body of a newborn male was found in the new Athens cemetery enclosure and buried without coronial inquiry. It was exhumed later showing the infant was likely alive at birth. Authorities pursue arrests for the apparent infanticide, with no immediate results reported Wednesday. The Athens Herald’s asylum measles claim is disputed by the facility management amid praise for inmate health. Nearby, Porter Wilson, aged nearly eighty, died from nervous shock after a buggy accident Christmas. Industry notes include Ohio legislation views, a jail discharge for Val Davis on a freight car robbery charge, and upcoming lectures at the Nelsonville Institute. Additional items mention a new Toledo and Ohio Central ticket office, a merger in Nelsonville, a large 25-pound turkey reportedly hatched May 17, and Mrs. Jemima Fisk’s death at 102. A news column mocks Washington society “beauties” photos, a stalled Hocking Valley train due to a broken whistle, and Kentner bound over on assault charges.
