Washington Woman Awarded Carnegie Medal for Bravery
Mrs. Marie V. B. Langdon of Talma Chelan county received the Carnegie Medal for saving the Jacques family during a January blaze on the snowy north banks of Lake Wenatchee. She aided a frail mother and her children despite 34 degrees below zero and three to four feet of snow, breaking crust and exposing herself to freezing conditions. The Jacobs family home burned, leaving the mother to rescue the sleeping children while Langdon trudged through perilous conditions toward safety.

Courage of Mrs Langdon Earns Carnegie Medal for Rescue
Mrs Langdon braved freezing night to reach a terrified woman and children. She dressed, donned snow shoes, and carried the baby and later the boy to safety. Despite frostbite, she returned to save more, though the little girl died. The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission awarded her a silver medal after a field investigation by manager F M Wilmot. The Presbyterian Ladies Aid meet at 2:30 PM Wednesday at Mrs Howard Thomas with a literary program by Mesdames Ludington and Fenton.
