The injured woman was found about 100 yards from the house lying on her left side, in about two inches of water. She asked to be taken where it was warm as she was very cold. Miss Barrow was then taken to the Hettick home nearby and Dr. Berryman was called from Scottvllle.
Dr. Berryman said that the injured woman should be taken to a hospital, but because of the high water it was impossible to bring her here, until Wednesday afternoon.
Dr. Norris told of Miss Barrow's condition after arrival at the hospital. He said that she was never conscious long enough to give a history of the accident. However, she said she saw the storm approaching and went into a shed for protection.
