Capt. Frank Brown Dies of Infection Following Rat Bite, Dec. 24, 1920

Salisbury—Captain Frank Brown, who won his title of captain in the war between the states, where he fought valiantly for the Confederacy, died at his home in Salisbury, death coming as a result of being bitten on the hand by a rat. Several weeks ago the small animal bit Captain Brown, and blood poisoning set in, later pneumonia appearing. (From the Roanoke Rapids Herald, Dec. 24, 1920)
