July 11, 1931: Self-Induced Abortion Proves Fatal

Tina May Lynaugh was born in Victory, Vermont on October 7, 1909. She grew up in a large family, with younger siblings born in 1912, 1913, 1916, and 1918. Her final sister was born in 1926, when Tina was 16 years old.

Tina married Dexter Grant in 1928 at the age of 18. The couple had two children.

Tina was described as having a happy, sunny disposition, brightening every gathering.

All that came to an end on July 11, 1931, when Tina died at Brightlook Hospital at the age of 21. 

For some unknown reason, Tina had decided to try a self-induced abortion which caused fatal septicemia.
