It Was All in Fun Until 9-Year-Old Pearl Beck Suffered Fractured Skull, June 23, 1922

Children playing in a yard at Mt. Airy threw some playthings of 9-year-old Pearl Beck on the roof of an outhouse, in fun. The child climbed to get her toys and fell, withstanding a fractured skull from which she soon died.
