Little Boy Dies of Burns
Six-Year-Old Albert F. Snyder Was Playing Indian Near Brush Fire
Albert F. Snyder, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Snyder of Clarendon, Va., died Thursday night at his parents' home of burns received Wednesday while playing Indian.
The boy donned his Indian suit yesterday morning. He was but a short distance from his home when he built a small brush fire. He was standing near the flames when his clothing caught fire. He screamed for help and started to run toward his home. The wind fanned the flames and soon he was a blazing torch from head to foot. A neighbor extinguished the flames and took the boy to his home. Dr. Ralph Quick was summoned and endeavored to save the lad, but he died about midnight.
The funeral was held this afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Clarendon, Va. Rev. F.M. Swann conducted the services. Interment was made in Congressional cemetery.
