A THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD
BURNS TO DEATH
AT WOODWARD
~
Woodward, Oct. 28. – The three year old son of Clarence Lenocker, living two miles south of this place, was burned to death in his father’s stable Saturday afternoon. The children were playing with matches, setting the barn on fire. All but the boy ran out. He in some manner got into the oat bin. He was nearly cremated, only the trunk of the body being taken from the ashes.
