Aged 3y 9m. Listed on cemetery records as Katherine McAuley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Without any apparent pain, Catherine McAulley [sic] the 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William McAulley, died of an abscess of the back of the head just after her mother had taken her for a ride in a go-cart. The child had a small abscess on the back of the head, but as it did not pain her, nothing serious was thought of it. No physician had been treating the girl. Little Miss Catherine had been playing around the yard about 7 in the morning and later was taken for a ride in the baby buggy by her mother. Shortly after, when Mrs. McAulley went to the child's room, she found her dead.
The sudden death of the infant girl came as a great shock to her parents and many friends. The abscess seemed to have started from a blister. The neighborhood has been afflicted with the disease, two other children having died from the same cause.
Besides her parents, the child is survived by five brothers and two sisters.
