Kuehnast, Thomas Harvey (1943 - Oct. 1945)

Funeral services were conducted last Thursday for Thomas Harvey Kuehnast, 2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Emery Kuehnast, Irvine, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kuehnast, Abbotsford, Wis.

The child died at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Chippewa Falls, of burns suffered when he fell into a pan of steaming water. The child’s mother was treating him for a cold, using steam from a pan of water which she had set by his bed. He fell asleep and when she stepped from the room for a moment, he rolled into the water, suffering severe burns.

Surviving besides his parents, and grandparents from Abbotsford are his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Revord, Chippewa Falls.
