Biography
Jack Ferguson notes, "This litttle boy returned home from school one day while hog butchering was going on. Someone directed him to get a hoe that was laying across the top of a large kettle of boiling water. The boy dashed for it and fell into the kettle when he reached for the hoe. John Smith was away from home an a preaching trip when the news reached him. He returned home to find that his son had died after eight days of agonized suffering."
