Irwin Launspach, the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Launspach of Des Moines, was fatally burned by fire, which totally destroyed the interior of the home. It is believed that the boy set fire to his clothing by matches, which he had secured by much effort in climbing upon a chair to reach the box on a shelf which had been hid from him the day before.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he was born in 1909 and is buried in Glendale Cemetery.
