Baby Born Without Right Arm Died Sunday Afternoon.

Robert, the 5-weeks-old baby of Robert Toombs, of Barkley township, died Sunday afternoon at about 5 o’clock. It had been ill for several days and the physicians were unable to save its life. The baby was born without a right arm. Dr. Johnson, county coroner, went to “the home this Monday morning and found that the child was absent the duct leading from the liver to the bowell and that it could not have lived. The liver, failing to be cleared, had filled up until the entire cavity was occupied. The baby will be buried Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock.
