The Seattle Post Intelligencer con
tains the following sad account of the
death of a boy who formerly lived
here where he was well liked by all
who knew him and who extend their
sympathy to the sorrowing parents:
Thomas H Kendrick, 10-year-old
Sherman schoolboy, was tatally burn
ed Monday morning while warming
himself before a fire at the family
home, .3737E North Cheyenne street,
and died Tuesday morning as a re
sult of his burns and accompanying
shock. The Kendrick family recently
moved to Tacoma from Alaska. Mon
day morning the boy was standing
before a dining room heating stove to
dress, when his nightgown caught
fire, the flames spreading so rapidly
that he was frightfully burned.
Mr. Kendrick suffered severe burns
on both hands in his attempt to ex
tinguish the flames. Thomas had run
into the room where other members
of the family were, crying for his
mother. Although less than a minute
had elapse<\ from the time the gown
caught fire until it had been torn off.
more than one-third of his body had
been frightfully burned.
The boy, who is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. IV. E. Kendrick, had been warn
ed at various times by his father
against standing close to the stove in
his night clothes. Childlike, the fath
er says, Thomas never heeded the
•warning, not realizing the evident
danger. f
Dr. Gaul, living nearby., was sum
moned and gave the burned boy treat
ment. Eater the physician announced
' that no hope was held by him for the
lad’.s recovery.
The Kendricks came to Tacoma
three months ago from Juneau, Al
aska. The body of Thomas was re
\ .
moved to the Buckley-King ’ com
pany’s.
