The little boy was found about half past nine o'clock smothered to death in some cotton which was in an out house on the place. Donald was accustomed to spending much of his time with his sister, Mrs Jordan Ramey, who lives near and no attention was paid to his being away from home. When Mr Calvert came home from his business, he inquired for the little boy and search was begun for him which resulted in finding him in the cotton. In his play, Donald had evidently been digging holes in the cotton and must have lost his balance and become buried in the cotton. Every effort was made to revive the boy but the doctors agree that he had been dead for several hours. Interment in the family plot in Long Cane Cemetery. The grief stricken parents had the consolation of having all their children with them. Mrs Arthur Ellis being here from New Orleans on a visit and John Calvert being here on a short leave of absence from Camp Sevier while the two daughters, Misses Ruth and Gertrude are leaving this week for college. Donald was an unusually bright and attractive boy. He was eight years old and had the gentle brightness which endeared him to both old and young.
