“Grandmother” Antrim Injured By Fall—Condition Is Serious.

“Grandmother” Antrim, who was 94 years of age last October, and who makes her home with her daughter. Mrs. Rachel Scott, slipped and fell last Thursday evening, and although she did not break any bones, she received injuries severe enough to create some possibility of serious results. Mrs. Scott had stepped out of the house to feed the chickens in the evening and while she was out of the house, Mrs. Antrim got up and started out of the back door. She slipped and fell on the step and Mrs. Nattie Scott, who lives near, heard her cry out and ran to her. The two women carried her into the house and she bas been confined to her bed since then and can not even turn over. No bones were broken, but she' was badly bruised, about one hip, especially. Mrs. Julius Huff, a granddaughter, is helping care for the aged lady.
