Bingham Jr., died on Wednesday afternoon, January the twenty-seventh after a two days illness. The little body was brought to Winter Haven and interred in Woodlawn cemetery. The little fellow was as bright and healthy as could be on Monday preceeding his death, when he picked up a Daisy Fly Killer off the table and drank a sup of the water from it. Physicians were called at once and everything done to save his life, but on Wednesday, he was taken. The Daisy Fly Killer is used in many homes and parents should take precaution to put it where children can not reach it. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham were in DeLand at the time of the acciddnt, where Mr. Bingham was taking a course in law in Stetaon University. They are prostrated over the sad providence and at present are at home with Mr. Bingham's parents at Eagle Lake. The community sympathized with them in this severe affliction. The little fellow was two years, eleven months and ninteen days old at the time of his death. End. This little boy was the child of John A. Bingham, a well known resident and pioneer of Polk County Florida.
