Marie Deemer, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Deemer, who live thirteen
miles southwest of here, was badly frozen Saturday afternoon when she attempted
to return home from a neighbor's home a mile distant.

Marie had spent Friday night with school friends at a neighbor's home. She
was force to stop at the home of Charles Gibbons which was two-thirds of her
way home. First aid had to be administered as she was nearly exhausted from
wading in the deep drifts and suffering from frozen arms, face and feet.
After she had rested for a few hours she resumed her trek home. Although her
arms, face and feet were badly frozen and swollen, the blisters are healing
nicely now.
