The boy who had not been going to school was not well Saturday and his mother wanted him to take some medicine but he objected to taking it. Finally he said he'd take it if his mother would let him play in the cotton pile. The child was gone a long time and his mother, becoming uneasy, went out to look for him. The boy dug a hole down thru the cotton with his hands, his body gradually going deeper as he dug and suddenly the cotton caved in on him. Funeral was at Boldo Sunday. Surviving are the parents and a sister. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/alfiles/ File size: 1.2 Kb
