Stanly News-Herald
Little Boyd, the 16 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert O. Tucker, had the very great misfortune Sunday morning to get scalded, by pulling a kettle of boiling water over, and the contents falling upon his left leg.
Mrs. Tucker was bathing the child and had concluded the bath preparatory to going to church, and had se the kettle back on the fire when by some means unknown to the mother, Boyd passed by the kettle and pulled it over on himself. The vessel was not full, but enough of the water ran down the leg to inflict a very painful burn. The child at the time had on a pair of woolen socks, and when the mother removed the sock, the skin came off from the knee down to the ankle and part of that on top of the foot.
