WILLIAM STITT, JR. (d. 1902) cemetery #89A CHILD DIED FROM BURNS Two-Year Old Infant at Two Rivers Falls in Tub of Scalding Water LIFE COULD NOT BE SAVED Two Rivers, Jan. 11—After several hours of untold suffering a two year old son of Mrs. William Stitt, residing at Tannary, three miles north of this place, died from the effects of burns received in failing into a tub of boiling water. The painful accident occurred while Mrs. Stitt was busy at her household duties, and in a moment when her watchful care was distracted from her child, whom she supposed at play in the room. She was startled by the cries of the infant, but too late, the scalding water had placed the child out of the realms of physical aid and though heroic measures were adopted, it died within a few hours after the accident. The mother is nearly crazed with grief and the sympathy of the entire community is expressed. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, January 11, 1902, Page 1
