of the Calhoun Chronicle dated 3/7/1899.
Last Thursday night the children of Lafe Roberts of near Nobe, were
out after dark, and upon their return to the home, his seven-year-old daughter
tripped and fell head foremost into a post hole, in which stood a pool
of water, and before she was missed was drowned. The hole was about
18 inches deep and 9 inches in diameter, and in the fall the child was
wedged in the hole so tight as to be unable to get out.
