Obituary:

Wm. Kemm lives about five miles up the river in Flatrock township. Last Thursday was Mrs. Kemm's wash day. While performing some labor in the yard her oldest daughter was left in charge of the wash room. The water arriving at a boiling point the daughter lifted the boiler to the floor and stepped from 'the room a few minutes. On returning with the mother they were horrified to find the baby, a child 2 years of age, in the boiler; The little fellow had been attracted by the steam and tottering over, fell in. Of course all aid within the power of humanity was rendered but without avail, the victim dying the next morning Its suffering beggars description, ' The skin literally dropped from the body and the flesh almost cooked.
