Headline:  Tioga Child Backs Into tub of Water and Dies on Friday

Mickey Richey, six years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip R. Richey, of Tioga, 
died at his home at 8 o'clock last Friday morning as a result of burns which 
he sustained when he fell in a tub of boiling water shortly after noon 
Thursday.

The little boy was playing with his puppy and backed into the tub of water 
which his mother was heating for scrubbing purposes.  He was rushed to 
Pineville where he received medical treatment and returned to his home 
Thursday night.  Mickey is survived by his mother and father, three sisters, 
Docie, Maxine and Bobbie, and one brother, Otis, of Tioga and was the 
grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John Richey, of Rhinehart.

Interment was made in the Nolly Memorial Cemetery in Jena on Saturday morning 
at ten o'clock with Rev. Stille, of Tioga, and Rev. E. J. Phares, of Good 
Pine, officiating.
