Virgil McADAMS Dies from Burns Received in Accident
Virgil McADAMS, three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. McADAMS, of near Coyt, Miss., was horribly scalded Friday morning, resulting in his death several hours later.
His parents were scalding hogs and after they had pulled the hog out of the water the child accidentally fell into the tub of hot water.
He was buried in the Matheny graveyard Saturday afternoon, Rev. Herring in charge.
Little Virgil was too sweet for earth so God took him to dwell in eternal mirth.
          We shall miss, but we shall meet him,
          When our race on earth is run;
          And we know God's plan is wiser
          So we say, "Thy will be done."
His Sunday School teacher
