An All Night Business

Last Sunday Evening Mrs. Charles Bradshaw who lives near
Thorntonville, walked out into the woods near her home for
a Sunday evening ramble and also looking for a strayed hog.
 She got lost and rambled about trying to find the way back
home.  Night came on and she shouted herself hoarse hoping
that by this means to attract aid.  Fortunately she had
matches with her, and late in the night dispairing of
finding the way back home, she built a light-wood fire as a
protection from cold, and "made herself a home."  Exhausted
and worried she made a bed of pine straw and leaves and
took a nap.  Early next morning she resumed her ramble, and
about nine o'clock Monday morning she walked unto the home
of Mr. James Welch; who lives four or five miles from her
home.  Mrs. Bradshaw is an old lady and such exposure with
nothing to eat was dangerous.


Additional Comments:
Thorntonville would be almost dead center of Marion county if positioned on a 
north-south/east-west axis.
