Widow Seeks Washtub and Cow to Support Children
A grieving widow, widow of a man killed in an accident, writes to A. B. Spriggs, chairman, asking the state industrial accident board to advance compensation to buy a cow and a washtub for washing. She states four children depend on her and that she will use the funds for their needs, not herself. Spriggs plans to advance enough compensation to enable these purchases and to provide basic equipment for her to work and care for the children.
