Monroe Times July 10, 1948
 James Keck, 14-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Foister Keck of 1622 Maine Court, 
died in Monroe Hospital this morning following a home accident yesterday in 
which he scalded himself while playing in a kitchen sink.  Coroner Edward Rupp 
said death was caused by second and third degree burns.  Left in the sink while

water tap and was scalded fatally.  James was born May 13, 1947, at Pennington 
Gap, VA.  He is survived by his parents; a sister, Brenda, two; his 
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Castle of Duffield, VA. and Mr. and Mrs. Arlis
