Andrew Gallagher was smothered and
in a fire that destroyed the
,amily residence. The mother had lock-
ed the child in the house while she
made an errand to the business sec
ton. In her absence a blaze started
n the kitchen, presumably through the
child playing with fireworks, and be-
ore the grief and terror-stricken moth
er could reach home to appraise the
bremen of the child's presence, the
smoke and flames had ended his life.
The little lad had made a heroic and
courageous struggle. The smoke and
ire drove him from room to room. un-
il at last, in the farthermost room.
with his body and face drawn into
'ontortion of pain and terror, with his
lrms shielding his face, he had died.
The child possessed much intelligence.
md his sweet disposition made him a
general favorite. The funeral took
'Iace Thursday afternoon at o'clock. /
