The only death I have had in my family was a daughter aged 11 years, who died of diabetes." Dr. White also issued a statement to the effect that his only treatment of Jennie in the past five years was on August 15, 1912, when he was called to the home and found Jennie "suffering from a wound caused by being thrown from a horse and striking a wire fence." No explanation of the origin of the erroneous article.
