Roscoe L Crotty, infant son of Mr and Mrs Sumner Crotty, died at Meadow Bridge, Fayette County, March 3, 1922, aged 2 years, 7 months and 4 days.
He got out of bed and in some unknown way his night clothes caught fire from an open grate while his mother was in the yard and his father had gone to his work. Before his mother could extinguish the fire he was so badly burnt having inhaled the flames, that he died at 7 o'clock that evening.
The remains were taken to the home of his grandmother, Mrs Mary Crotty, at Vale, W Va, and funeral services were held on Sunday conducted by Rev A M Frantz in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing friends after which the little body was tenderly laid to rest in the family cemetery nearby. Little Roscoe was a fine, healthy boy, smart, kind, loving and loveable, and will be greatly missed by his heart-broken parents, who have our sympathy in their dark hour of bereavement.
