Saved from Freezing to Death

New York, 1895

Joseph Wantagh, an aged resident of Wantagh, had his hands and feet frozen Thursday night. He was returning from the village to his home and when about 100 yards from his house he was attacked with a stroke of paralysis. He was picked up in the snow by neighbors and saved from freezing to death.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 15, 1895, p. 1.
