CHARLES DANIEL TOUCHSTONE DIED
       ____________

LAST SATURDAY MORNING FOLLOWING A NIGHT'S ILLNESS; BURIAL SATURDAY P.M.

Little Charles Daniel Touchstone the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. J.
Touchstone, of this city, died Saturday morning following a night's illness,
caused from drinking a small quantity of coal oil on the preceding day, late
in the evening.  From reports received, it seems that the child picked up the
coal oil can and as all children usually do, put it to his mouth and drank
some of it, thus becoming very ill.  Drs. R.H. Sherrill and N.L. Barker
attended to him but all in vain, the little fellow passed away, Saturday
morning at 7:00 o'clock.

The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the
family residence, Rev. G.M. McNeilly, pastor of the First Baptist church,
having charge of the service.  He was buried at the Baptist cemetery.

The News joins the entire community in extending words of kindness and
sympathy to the Touchstone family in their hours of bereavement.
