Burned to Death.
The 3-year-old son of Otto Kuehn of Egg Harbor was burned to death on Thursday afternoon of last week.
The distressing accident occurred when there was nobody in the house but the little fellow and the house dog. The mother had gone to the barn and the father was away. The dog made every effort to call the attention of the mother to the fact that something was wrong, running out to the barn and back to the house again several tines before it finally succeeded in making the woman understand that he wanted her to follow him to the house. Suspecting that there must be something amiss she went with the faithful animal, and was horrified to find her little son lying on the kitchen floor in the last throes of death. The clothes had been burned from his body and one arm was burned almost to a crisp, the child living but a few moments after she arrived at his side.
The supposition is that the little fellow played with the fire in the stove and his clothes caught fire.
The remains were interred in the Egg Harbor cemetery Sunday.
