Eight Months Old Baby Is BurnedEight Months Old Baby Is Burned

Gracey Harris, 8-months-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Ivy Harris of O’Neal township, near Atkinson’s Mill, was fatally burned Tuesday morning.

The child was in a room alone with an open fire and in some manner unknown, its clothing caught fire. With her clothes blazing furiously, the little girl crawled to the door where she was found and the fire extinguished. Dr. George Vick of Selma was called, but the baby died before he reached the home. –The Johnstonian.
