Biography

Apparently the child was taken to the Battery so she could ride her bicycle. As she returned home, the attention of her mother, who had been waiting at the door, was distracted. The child was found lying, quite unconscious, in one of the settling pits, in which there was only 18 inches of water. The jury from the inquest that was subsequently held, returned the following verdict: "Mabel Florence Greyman came to her death on January 20, 1901, accidently due partly to immersion and partly to the effects of the cyanide contained in the water in the pit in which she was found. The child was buried in Plot 27, Section C, in the 3rd row west.
