Robert Stanley Hunter, the fifteen-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Daniel Hunter of 33, South Fourth East, fell Into a pan of boiling hot water on Saturday Sat-urday last and as a result died about four hours later. Mrs. Hunter had left the child In tho sitting-room and after setting the pan of water on tho lloor of the back porch had stepped into an adjoining room. She heard Iho little ono cry out and ran to thc porch to find that he had made his way out there and In somo manner had fallen Into tho water. It appears that he had not seen tho nan and had backed up against It and his legs striking the edge of the pan had caused him to sit down In tho scalding water. Dr. W. R. Caldcrwood was summoned and every effort was made to save the child's life, but the shock was too much for the little body and ho ruccumbed to thc Injuries about four hours afterward. The funeral services were held from the family residence Monday at 12 o'clock. |
