Little Elmira, daughter of Abner Fordyce, of Frosty run, died on Tuesday of last week, of brain fever, superinduced by whooping cough, aged about six years. This family bereavement is all the sadder from the fact that the little girl's mother died just 9 days before. It is truly a sticken household, and the sorrowing father is the recipient of the deepest sympathy. Waynesburg Republican, July 3, 1878 (Greene County, PA)
