Died from too Hot Milk.
Waukon Standard:—-Little Johnnie Wachter, one year old, died at the home of his parents in Fairview twp., on the 6th. He got hold of a cup of hot milk that was set on the table and drank it and was so badly burned inwardly that death resulted in few hours. He was a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John Gast, of Linton township. The funeral was held at the residence of Rev. Carey at Rossville on the 8th. It is a sad affliction for the parents and relatives who have the full measure of sympathy.
