One Son Dead, Another Seriously Injured Playing With Dynamite, Nov. 10, 1920
By the Associated Press, Rocky Mount, N.C., Nov. 10--A three-year-old son of Steven Winstead, who lives near Sandy Cross, six miles from here, is dead and a five-year-old brother is in a local hospital in serious condition with one hand blown off and the other badly mangled as the result of an explosion of a stick of dynamite with which they had been playing.
The children found the dynamite under a barn where it had been hidden after some had been used for blowing up stumps. The barn was wrecked.
