CHILD DIED FROM BURNS
Two-Year Old Infant at Two Rivers Falls in Tub of Scalding Water
LIFE COULD NOT BE SAVED
Two Rivers, Jan. 11—After several hours of untold suffering a two
year old son of Mrs. William Stitt, residing at Tannary, three
miles north of this place, died from the effects of burns received
in failing into a tub of boiling water. The painful accident occurred
while Mrs. Stitt was busy at her household duties, and in a moment
when her watchful care was distracted from her child, whom she
supposed at play in the room. She was startled by the cries of the
infant, but too late, the scalding water had placed the child out
of the realms of physical aid and though heroic measures were adopted,
it died within a few hours after the accident. The mother is nearly
crazed with grief and the sympathy of the entire community is
expressed.
