Woman Is Half Frog.
Oxford, Ga., Oct. 27.—Early
this morning *‘Fanny,” the frog
woman, passed away. This wo
man was a strange freak of nature
having in her upper limbs the dis
tinct features of a frog. Dr. Evans,
a resident physician who bas
known her ever since she came
here, says her ayms are like the
fore legs of a frog. She lives a
bout one-half mile from Oxford,
and has been seen by passers by,
to hop like a frog. She could not
walk except by hoping on all fouts,
She was brought here from Jasper
county by her sister who thought
to take advantage of the fact that
the people of Oxford have so few
poor and would look after her
well. Her sister says she is forty
years old and has hopped since her
birth. She declares that Fanny
had the power of speech and a
violent temper; she often gave
vent to her temper and was very
profane in her language. She was
called the Frog-Woman of Oxford,
although she was not born here,
Her true name is not known.
