DOBBS, WILLIAM
(22 Jul 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Final rites were read at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Carter Cemetery for William Dobbs, two and one half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Dobbs, who died in an Elk City hospital last night a victim of lye water.
The child drank the lye water at the home of his parents, three miles north and two miles west of Carter, yesterday morning. He was rushed to the Elk City hospital for treatment but the strong chemical solution had already had time to eat the tissues of the child's internal organs, it was stated.
The water was sitting (sic) near where Mrs. Dobbs was working and the child had taken but one swallow before the container was snatched from its hands, the mother said today. Emergency treatment was given the child before it was taken to the hospital but the effect was inconsequental, attendants here said. When relief from the burning chemical was not obtained through the
emergency treatment given at home the parents sought advice of physicians.
When the child was here it was in a critical condition and hopes for saving it were slight, it was learned.
Services were conducted this afternoon by Rev. J. T. Reel, Baptist pastor of the Carter community. Interment was made in the Carter cemetery with the Killough-Hullum, funeral directors, in charge of arrangements.
William Dobbs is survived by his father and mother and four brothers and four sisters.
He was born Jan. 3, 1928, near Canute.
