LAS VEGAS AGE
4/15/1911

BABY BURNED

THE THREE YEAR OLD BOY OF JAS. PINKNEY LOSES LIFE

Thursday afternoon at the Home Ranch about six miles west of Moapa the 
three year old son of James PINKNEY was burned so severely that he died 
within a few hours.  The child was playing in the tent when the father, 
who was a short distance away, noticed that the tent was on fire. He 
made all possible speed to the spot only to find that the baby was 
frightfully burned. The poor little fellow was brought to Las Vegas by 
the anguished father, but died in the father's arms after leaving the 
train and before he could reach the hospital.
    The funeral was held at the Griffith undertaking parlors Friday 
afternoon. The case was a very sad one.  The mother died only a short 
time ago and the bereaved husband and father is doubly affected by the 
loss of his baby boy.
