Concord, March 16- Last week, Thursday, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shaughnessy spilled a half gallon tin cup of hot water from the top of the stove- about a pint of the contents penetrated its clothing to its flesh, burning it so as to cause convulsions. Everything was done that could be done, and Dr. Overholt was called, but Saturday it died and on Sunday the little form was laid to rest beside its eldest sister in Fredonia cemetery.
