Death notice from The semi-weekly messenger (Wilmington NC) July 20, 1897

Contributed by Natasha Miles

 
A little daughter of Robert Stone, aged about 9 or 10 years, was killed by her father's horse a few days ago in the Rock Creek section of Wilkes county. It seems that the child had been in the habit of going to the pasture where the horse grazed and catching it. When she went after it, the horse refused to let her put the bridle on, and whirled around and kicked her, one foot landing on her side and the other on her head. Her parents witnessed the accident, but before they reached her side she was dead.
