Date: 1918-10-03; Paper: Fort Wayne News Sentinel Steuben County Woman Killed by Vicious Bull Angola, Ind. Oct 3 Mrs. Eli Griffin, 63 years old, is dead as the result of being attacked by an enraged Holstein bull at her home near here yesterday. There is some doubt, however, whether death was due to being trampled by the bull or from fright. Mrs. Griffin and her two daughters had gone to the barn yard to do some chores. As Mrs. Griffin started to enter the barn she yelled to her children to run, telling them that the bull was mad. The bull was close onto her when she gave the warning to the children. After the animal left the barn the children found Mrs. Griffin dead in one corner of the building. Her clothing had been born open, but there were only a few bruises on her body. Mrs. Griffin was a daughter of Wesley Dirrim, of Hamilton. Her husband is a local minister of the United Brethren Church. |
