Tragic Richfield Child Drowned in whey Tank
A five year old girl, daughter of Mr and Mrs Henry Neuman of Richfield, drowned in a partially filled whey tank at the Neuman cheese factory last Saturday afternoon about four o’clock. The body was found by her mother during a search and taken to Richfield in vain hopes of resuscitation. It is believed the child slipped and fell in while playing near the tank. The Neumans mourn the loss as the community offers sympathy. Also included are notices of final account and inheritance tax proceedings in Wood County Wisconsin, with June 1919 dates.
