Caroline, 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ruff, of Palmer, hill, near Andes [Delaware Co., NY], was fatally injured when trampled on by a horse Friday evening. She died in the Margaretville Hospital Sunday morning. Caroline was the proud owner of a horse of which she had made a pet and the animal seemed to be equally fond of her. About 6 o'clock Friday night Caroline went to the barn to feed the horse and took her mother and two sisters, Harriett, and Mrs. Ray Hammond, of Union Grove, along, so that they might see her horse. She started feeding the horse and it is thought that she may have touched it with the pitchfork with which she was carrying the hay as the animal started to plunge in its stall and knocked her down and stepped on her. Mrs. Ruff and Mrs. Hammond went to the little girl's recue and they were also stepped on but succeeded in dragging Caroline from the stall. The horse had become so excited that its plunging and kicking demolished the stall. Caroline was rushed to the Margaretville Hospital where Dr. Gilbert Palen diagnosed her worst injury as a punctured liver. He immediately made a telephone call to Albany in an effort to obtain another surgeon as it was impossible to move the child. The surgeon was unable to come to Margaretville immediately and the only chance of saving the child's life was immediate surgery. Dr Palen performed the operation and Caroline showed some improvement until Sunday morning when she passed away. Caroline had lived on Palmer hill all her life and was loved by all who knew her. She was a very intelligent child in her studies and music and was a great favorite with her schoolmates and teachers. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ruff; two brothers, William and Melvin, at home, and two sisters, Mrs. Ray Hammond, of Union Grove, and Miss Harriett Ruff, who is attending school at Kingston. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the Andes Methodist church, the Rev. Robert Reynolds officiating. The fifth grade of Andes Central School and the 4-H Club of which she was a member, attended in a body. Burial was made in the Andes Cemetery.
