Throckmorton, Sudie (d-1915)

There was a sad accident on Danbury, N.C. a few days ago. Sudie Throckmorton, 11 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Throckmorton, was crossing a foot log that spans Little Snow Creek, near their home when she fell in and was drowned before she could be rescued. Her 10 year old brother was with her at the time and also fell in but succeeded in climbing out before getting into the swift current of the stream. The brother and children were on their way home from school. The recent heavy rains had greatly swollen the stream.
