100 years ago: Dentist suffers second stroke

From the Lawrence Daily World for Sept. 24, 1910: “Dr. Lucy Taylor, who was partially paralyzed several weeks ago [see OHT for Aug. 17, 1910], suffered a second stroke this week. Her voice was affected this time, and she only speaks in a whisper. The first stroke paralyzed her entire right side and this was gradually recovering its normal condition when the second stroke came. Her condition is very critical and grave doubts are entertained for her recovery…. R. E. Menzel, of the West End Bakery, came out on the streets today with a brand new delivery wagon. The wagon is attractive in coloring and finish and provides dust proof compartments for the bakery products…. A magnificent specimen of a buck moose has been presented to Peoples State Bank, by a Lawrence man traveling through Canada. It consists of the mounted head of the animal, the antlers of which are pronounced perfect by Prof. Dyche, of the university. The horns measure four feet and eight inches from tip to tip, and are slightly more than three feet in length.”
