Headline:  Child of 7 Dies of Burns Saturday

Sub-Headline:  Susie Nell Hawkins Is Buried at Rhinehart Sunday Noon

Little Susie Nell Hawkins, aged 7 years, daughter of Mrs Susie Hawkins, of 
Rhinehart, died Saturday of propagation from burns.

The clothing of the child became ignited about two weeks ago, severly burning 
her before the fire could be extinguished by her mother, who was also severly 
burned.  Medical attention and tender nursing failed to save the child's life 
and death resulted Saturday.

Funeral services were held Sunday, with Rev Lee Brooks, pastor of the 
Harrisonburg Baptist Church, conducting the last rites over the little form.  
Interment was in a private cemetery at Rhinehart.

Besides her mother, she is survived by three brothers, Perry, Martin, and 
Buddie Hawkins, her grandparents, Mr and Mrs Billie Hawkins and Mrs M. 
Alexander, Rhinehart.

Those from Jena attending the funeral Sunday were Mrs. W. W. Adams, Mr and 
Mrs Q. R. Hudson, Mr and Mrs W. W. Russell, Mr and Mrs P. S. Gaharan, Jr., 
Lester and Warren Gaharan, and Miss Lucille Gaharan.

Kinner and Stevens, undertakers, of Jena, had charge of funeral arrangements.
