This Day in History: 1935-02-25

A seven-year-old boy, Eddie Walgroski, was hospitalized for severe dog bites.  He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Walgroski of Valley Road.  He was bitten severely around the head and hands by a dog belonging to John Strysko.  The boy was rushed to the Good Samaritan Hospital by Chief Charles Smith and Fire Chief John Mehwok.  Dr. Royal Sengstacken, who treated the boy, said he would probably have to remain hospitalized for a week.
