Little Girl Burned to Death Friday
	Girlieann Gertrude, seven months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack 
Mathis, died last Friday afternoon following severe burns received when a pan of 
hot soup overturned onto the infant.  Mr. and Mrs. Mathis reside near Poplar 
Springs.
	The mother was in the kitchen preparing dinner, and the little girl was 
being cared for by its larger sister.  The baby was sitting on a bench near a 
table where the hot soup was resting.  The baby accidently hit the pan and the 
hot fluid dashed on its body.  The other child was also burned but not 
seriously.
	A physician was called immediately and treatment administered, with the 
hopes that the little one would recover.  However, Friday morning its condition 
was serious and death resulted that afternoon.
	Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 11 o’clock at the Poplar 
Springs Church before a large gathering of friends and relatives.  Rev. Abner 
Sirmans conducted the services.  The floral offerings were said to have been 
very many and pretty.
	Those surviving are the parents, two sisters and five brothers.
