GIRL FARM WORKER SCALPED

Mr G H T Foster, coroner, held an inquest at Evesham as to the death of Ivy May Bayliss (16), daughter of Mr F Bayliss, market gardener at Murcott, who died in Evesham hospital, following an accident.  She was employed as a farm worker at Murcott by Mr W A Fisher, of Evesham, and on October 9 she was at work crushing cake, and went to put some flour on a slack driving belt, when her hair caught in the spindle and she was shockingly injured before the machinery could be stopped, and she died on November 20.
