- Child Dies From Burns
A very distressing accident happened late last Friday evening which caused the death of Duane, two-and-a-half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Tull, living northwest of Arapahoe. A boiler of hot water had been set out in the yard to be used in putting meat down in brine, and the youngster, unnoticed and unnoticing, was pulling his wagon, walking backward and fell into the boiler. Medical aid was secured at once and although the water had been standing outside about an hour, the burns which were confined to the back, were sever and the baby passed away about five hours later.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the Methodist church, Rev. W.S. Morris officiating. Special music was furnished by the quartet composed of Ralph Murdoch, L. Clyde Prime, C.M. Evans and Ralph Sohn, accompanied by William McCrory. Interment in the Arapahoe cemetery.
Duane Shields Tull was born at Arapahoe June 21, 1923 and passed away January 29, 1926 at the tender age of two years, seven months and eight days. It is consoling to his parents to know that God with His Infinite love called him peacefully to be with Him. Duane, with his bright and loveable disposition had a place in his home that can never be filled. He leaves to mourn his sorrowing parents, Herbert and Elfreda; one brother, Tommy, a sister, Marjorie Ann; his grandparents and other relatives.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved parents in their irreparable loss.
