Robert Richard NEWKIRK, two years of age, was drowned Saturday when he fell head first into a 30-inch-tall lard can containing about three inches of water. The accident happened on a farm about three-fourths of a mile north of Diagonal, where the boy resided with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James CAMPBELL. The boy was found in the can, which had been placed at a corner of the building to catch rain water, by one of the CAMPBELLS' daughters.
[Interment at Johnston Cemetery, Liberty Township, Ringgold County, Iowa.]
