Tragedy came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Robinson, Monday, when their son, Horace, was fatally burned. The family live on the Crescent V. Ranch west of Palacios and early morning had a fire in the yard to burn the handle from an ax. One of the boys who was watching the fire called to his brother to bring a can of kerosene to help with the burning and the child brought a can of gasoline instead. The accident occurred when the can containing the supposed kerosene was poured on the burning ax handle. The flames caught the little boy’s clothing on fire and before they could be extinguished he was badly burned. He was taken to the Matagorda General Hospital in Bay City where he died at 5:15 p.m. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock in the Palacios Funeral Home, conducted by Rev. L. W.
