Poisoned Field Corn is Fatal to 11-Year-Old Girl.
Doris Jean Svendgaard Dies of Poison After Minor Operation. Funeral Rites to be Held Tomorrow.
Blair Farm Girl Undergoes Tonsillectomy While Suffering, unknown to Her Parents and Physicians from Toxic Poisoning.
Effects of eating drouth-poisoned toasting ears Monday proved fatal Tuesday evening to Doris Jean Svendgaard, aged 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Svendgaard of west of Blair, after she had submitted to a minor operation that morning for removal of her tonsils. Unknown either to her parents or to attending physicians, toxic poisoning had set in. Neither the poisoning resulting from eating the corn nor the tonsillectomy would have proved fatal separately, physicians stated. While Doris Jean was on the operating table at a Fremont Hospital Tuesday, both Mr. and Mrs. Svendgaard became ill from the effects of eating the homegrown field corn.
At home, meanwhile, two of their youngest children, Betty and Richard, were ill from the same cause. All recovered later in the day. Home Before Death. Doris Jean was brought home following the operation, but at physicians' orders was returned to the Fremont hospital a short time later when her condition grew suddenly worse. She died a few minutes after reaching the hospital.
She was born February 2, 1925, in the Blair hospital and had attended March school near her home for six years. Surviving besides her parents are a younger sister, Betty, and two brothers, Richard and Jimmie; her grandparents, Jonas Blomberg of north of Blair, and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Svendgaard of Blair.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. at the home and at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church in Blair, the Rev. D.A. McCullough officiating. Interment will be in Blair cemetery.
