McCulloh Boy, 4, and Girl, 2, Burned to Death, Oct. 23, 1922

Two Small Children Are Burned to Death

Salisbury, Oct. 24—Two small children of Mr. and Mrs. Grantley McCulloh, a boy of four and a girl two years old, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed their home two miles from Cooleemee, Davis County, yesterday. The parents had left the children alone in the house, it is said, while they were at work near the house.

The charred bodies of the children were found in the ruins cooked to a crisp with their feet and hands burned off. The origin of the fire has not been determined.
