“A horrible accident occurred at Otway Tuesday morning, that may result fatally. Little Hattie McEntyre, the three-year-old daughter of Joseph McEntyre, while playing near where her mother was washing, accidentally fell into a tub of boiling water, resulting in her being scalded almost to death. The flesh on the little one’s body peeled off, also one side of her face. Everything is being done that possibly can be to relieve the child’s sufferings. Strange as it may seem this is the third accident of this kind that has occured in this village within the past week. Mrs. Powell, who was so badly burned last Monday, and recently a son of JF Realty was badly burned.”1
