    • (Medical):"DEMENTED-Aunt Celia Doughty, aged 85 years, Step mother of Mr. James F. Doughty, with whom she makes her home, after pulling off one of her shoes and laying it upon a shelf stepped out last Sunday evening. As soon as the situation was discovered the family was so alarmed that they soon gave the alarm to the neighborhood and in a very short time not less than fifteen men were out hunting for her and continued the search until midnight, when they were driven in by a heavy rain. Search was instituted early next morning and after a few hours search she was found in an old briar field about 1,000 yards from the house. When found she was barefooted, the only part of her foot gear remaining on her was a  portion of one stocking leg, while her other clothing was torn almost to pieces by the briars and bushes, and she was nearly frozen, having remained out in the rain all night. She has since been in very poor health." - Moluntain Echo, Laurel Co., KY (Sep 1889) [3]
