HATTON - The people of this community were shocked Friday to learn of the accidental death of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bishop. Mr. Bishop was vitalizing wheat in a barrel sunk in the ground and his little son was playing near him. He had just put a sack of wheat in the barrel and turned to pile up the rest, when he heard a scream from an older child and turning he found the older child trying to pull the baby out of the barrel. The little fellow was unconscious and every effort was made to revive him, but of no avail. He had swallowed considerable vitriol causing his mouth and face to be badly eaten. The child was 18 months old. The funeral services were held last Sunday at the Delight school house, and interment made at the Sutton cemetery.
