Child Fatally Burned
Maudie, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamp Batton,
who lives on the Wm. Ledbetter place on Route 5, was fatally burned Monday
afternoon. The child was in the yard where her mother and sister were at work
during the family wash, and must have gotten too close to the pot. At any rate,
her clothes ignited and the flame quickly enveloped her. Despite the desperate
efforts of her sister to extinguish the flames, she was so badly burned that
death resulted Wednesday morning at 2 o’clock.
The funeral was held at Green Lake this (Thursday)
afternoon. The parents have the deep sympathy of friends in the untimely death
of their daughter.
