Mrs. George Shockey
THE VILLAGE RECORD, WAYNESBORO, PA Thursday, 14 Jan. 1897
Mrs. George Shockey, living on the Samuel Welty farm, near town, who has been seriously ill for the past eight weeks, from blood poisoning, still remains in a critical condition, and present symptoms of her case are not at all favorable to her immediate recovery. Her physician, Dr. A. H. Strickler, has been giving her every attention, and has thus far succeeded in holding the disease in check, but the trouble is so deep seated, and of so serious a character as to almost baffle medical skill. It is to be hoped, however that the trouble may yield to treatment, and that the unfortunate woman may ultimately be restored to health.
THE VILLAGE RECORD, WAYNESBORO,PA Thursday, 21 Jan. 1897
Mrs. George Shockey, account of whose illness was given in last week’s RECORD,died at her home, near Fairview station, South of town, this morning, from blood poisoning. Some weeks ago whilst in the act of coloring clothing she imprudently used her hands in the deadly mixture and from a slight abrasion of the skin of one of the members her system took up the poison with the above sad results. It was several days before a physician was sent for and when he arrived he found the case a serious one. Nothing was left undone but the trouble had been too long delayed and all efforts to save the life of the unfortunate woman proved futile. Up until we are ready to go to press we have been unable to obtain the particulars of the funeral.
