HARTINGTON - Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Laurence Walz of this city will have the sympathy of the community in the loss of their beautiful baby son, Duane Donald, whose tragic death occurred Saturday, Nov. 2.
Saturday before noon, Mrs. Walz was preparing dinner, her husband was shaving and the little fellow was playing around. As he came from the bathroom, singing to himself, he stumbled against a tub of water which was being heated by an electric heater extended from the ceiling, and fell backward into the scalding fluid. The father sprang to the child’s assistance, pulled him from the tub and laid him on a table while the mother telephoned for Dr. F. P. Dorsey, Jr. who fortunately was in his office and came at once.
Dr. Dorsey after administering first aid, ordered the little sufferer taken to a hospital immediately. Reiferts invalid car was summoned and in an incredibly short time the baby was made comfortable in Sacred Heart hospital.
