4-Year-Old Playing Near Wash-Pot Badly Burned, Dec. 4, 1924

Child Badly Burned

Viney, the 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dargan Beheler, who live on Road River on Rutherfordton Route 1, was badly burned last Thursday while playing around the wash-pot. The child’s clothing caught fire, burning two-thirds or more of the surface of its body. She was brought to Dr. Duncan for treatment. At first it seemed as though it would be impossible to save the life of the child, but under good medical treatment she is rapidly recovering.
