McAFEE, (infant) – (d. 1870)

We learn that last week a little child of Mr. MCAFEE, living in East Knoxville, died from the effect of a bite inflicted by a spider about then days previous. It was bitten on the finger which soon swelled, when the swelling rapidly extended through the arm and whole body, which assumed the appearance of having been blistered.
