Butts County Progress
Hugh O’Neal – Burned to death.

Hugh, the five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Woodard O’Neal, living in Henry 
county, was burned to death Tuesday morning.  While standing in front of the 
fire his clothing caught and before assistance could reach him he was burned 
so badly that he died of the injuries.  Mr. O’Neal had come to Jackson in the 
morning and Mrs. O’Neal was in the yard when the child’s clothes caught.  The 
screams of the other children attracted here attention and she rushed into the 
house to find the child enveloped in flames and as best she could the fire was 
extinguished.

Medical assistance was summoned from Jackson and the county nearby.  From the 
knee up the little fellow’s body was a mass of charred flesh.  He died at 3:30 
o’clock in the morning.  Hugh was a bright and manly boy and a  child of great 
promise.

The funeral was held at Cedar Rock Cemetery Wednesday.
