--Seth Arnold Epperson, aged 20 months, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Epperson died yesterday afternoon from the effects of poison. The poison was taken early in the afternoon but the child did not appear sick until after five o'clock. Two doctors were summoned, but in spite of all that medical skill could do the child died in less than an hour. Seth was a bright, handsome, attractive little fellow and his sudden death is a great blow to the grief-stricken parents. The funeral occurs at nine tomorrow, at the home.
