Baby Fatally Burned in Its Crib at Home
Doris Vedeira Hawthorne, one-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. L. Hawthorne, was fatally burned
in her crib at the Hawthorne
home in South Tenth avenue just
before noon Wednesday when sparks
from the fireplace set the baby's
bed on fire.
The mother was in the yard on
an errand and returned to find the
crib in flames. She was painfully
burned about the hands and arms
trying to rescue the baby.
The baby was rushed to the Laurel
General Hospital where death
came within an hour. The father is
an employe of the Limbert Furniture
company.
