The Altoona Tribune. (Altoona, Pa.), March 21, 1861 March 20, 1861
Yesterday, Wednesday, morning, a little child of Alex Mock, of East Altoona, aged
about 2 years, was severely scalded about the breast and face by the upsetting of a
tub full of hot water upon it. It appears that its mother had put the hot water in
the tub and went out into the yard to get some cool water to put with it, and during
her absence, the child caught hold of the tub and pulled it over. It is thought that
its life can be saved. - P. S. Child died about six o’clock this Thursday morning.
