FATAL ENDING TO BERRY‑PICKING PARTY
The body of six‑year‑old Annie Green, of St. Jones Without, one of a party of four girls who had been berry‑picking, was found by searchers while another of the part, Blanche Penney, is still missing. Such was the information received by the Justice Department from S. R. Winsor, J.P. The message read:‑
“Four girls berry‑picking St. Jones Without yesterday; one Annie GREEN, 6 years old, found dead; two Hiscock girls rescued; Blanche Penney still missing; search parties out.”
During the afternoon Hon. W. J. Higgins, Minister of Justice, had a message from S. R. Winsor, J.P., stating the missing girl, Blanche Penney, had been found and was
feeling o.k. No particulars as to how the little girl met her death were received.
