The Genoa Times says that Mrs. Elbert Vaught died at the family home east of town at an early hour yesterday morning. A few hours previous to her death she gave birth to a child weighing twenty-six pounds. The child lived but a short time. Funeral services will be held in the Quaker church today (Friday) at 3:30. Drs. Davis of this place and Geer of Columbus, are reported to have said that a child weighing twenty-six pounds at birth was something unheard of before. They attended Mrs. Vaught in her illness.
