FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, January 26, 1911 HORRIBLY BURNED At about noon last Sunday while the balance of the family were in another part of the house, little John Curdt, the little nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Curdt, who live west of town, wandered into a room in which there was a fireplace and must have fainted for when he was discovered by members of the family he was lying in the fire place and his arms, head and one ear were badly burned. Medical attention was called from town as soon as possible and the little one is now getting along as well as could be expected. -- Bonne Terre Star.
