Died In Throes Of Hydrophobia-Awful Fate Of Harry Ayersman At City Hospital In Baltimore, MD. Preston County Journal. Kingwood, WV. Thur., Dec. 25, 1902.
Excerpt--After snarling, biting and suffering one convulsion after another for fully four hours, during which it required six men to hold him down, Harry Ayersman, aged 18, of Rowlesburg, W. Va., a victim of hydrophobia, died of sheer exhaustion Dec. 17 at the Pasteur department of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Mr. Ayersman showed symptoms of hydrophobia about a week ago, and was brought to the city as a last resort, accompanied by Dr. F. M. Fogle, of Rowlesburg. Young Ayersman was bitten by a dog on Nov. 10, and the wound was perfectly healed. About a week ago, he became nervous and restless, and Dr. Fogle was summoned. The physician watched the patient very carefully, and noticed spasmodic convusions of the throat, aversions to water, and delirium at times. That is when the decision was made to take him to Baltimore. Dr. Fogle will take the remains back to Rowlesburg for burial.
